I got a call from this number a few days ago. They said they were from my insurance company and wanted to update my policy. I didn't give them any info, but they kept calling back. I'm blocking them now.

Yesterday, I got a call from this number, and they were pushing life insurance on me. The funny thing is, I don’t even need any! They kept pressuring me even after I said no. Luckily, I didn’t share any personal info with them before hanging up.
