Received a call from a woman asking if my name was Sandy. I said no, in which she responded "well I think I have something that might interest you. Do you have life insurance"? In which I said yes my death is covered. The woman began asking for my name and asked what cover I had etc. I told her my family were multi billion dollar global business owners so I didn't need a life insurance policy at the moment (I wish!!). She continued trying to sell me life insurance in which I politely responded "I just advised you my family are business owners, I have enough money on the side to cover any funeral expenses and debts.. I DO NOT NEED LIFE INSURANCE"! She apologise and hung up. They've continued calling about 6 pm. I work shift work and am not able to have a ringing phone in the office at work due to security regulations. I think I've been more than polite to them.. no more polite if they call again

If you get any calls and when you pick up the line is silent then this is a sales call. if you say nothing no one will ever talk to you because your voice activates their end for them to pick up and start the "potential" sale. so if this happens now i 1) dont talk and hang up as ther is no one actually on the end of the line or 2) if i am caught out and do say hello i just hang up, this will be noticeable from the pause.

Missed a call from this number - the week after I signed up for and then cancelled a life insurance policy with a company called Real Insurance. What a coincidence! I wonder if Real Insurance are selling prospect lists ?

Called me 9:00AM. I asked politely if it is something important, cause I am busy. (Just like every person is on 9:00AM on a Thursday). They hung up immediately with no word.

Just got a call from a superior sounding british man, said company was Next Gen, then said call would be recorded. As soon as I heard 'Do you have Life Insurance', I said no thanks and hung up.

Glad I didn't pick up the call. I've had many missed calls found to relate to this insurance scam after checking here. The calls are all from different numbers with different area code. Fair to assume they're calling with different numbers to lower receivers guard.

Just received mumbling call about "free quote regarding life insurance". Then proceeds to get my details: citizenship, age, first/last name... I am in a process of Federal Police Check at present. Looks like they use this number to verify "how truethy you are". Makes sense to anyone?

Received phone call today but I did not answer as I didn't recognize the number. I phoned back at night and got a recorded message saving he was from Living Advantage and if I didn't want to receive his calls go to a particular Web address. Sounds like a scam.

Received a call today - a loud british man saying he's from Living Advantage. Hung up straight away - this is the second time they've contacted me. I blocked the first number and now have to block this one.

Had 6 missed calls from this number over the past five days. Called back and an automatic message said the call wasn't important, however they were living advantage. Scam number for sure!

Just got a call from them said he was calling from NextGen (who coincidentally are an IT / ISP company and have nothing to do with this) He asked me if I had life insurance and when I said yes he told me the call was being recorded and it wasn't a sales call. That's when I hung up.
