They are now trying to do so by saying that there's been some changes to their(implied: your) policies, and want you do go down for a session with them.

Problem is, I don't have any policies with them :D Well, one more number (6341 5315) in my blacklist.

Do be warned.

For the curious, our conversation went like this:

Her: Hi, may I speak to Ray?
(note that she already has my name, so I continue to talk to her, for now)

Me: Yeah, what's up?

Her: I'm calling from Finexis. There's been a change with some of our policies...

Me: Huh? But do I have any plans with Finexis?
(I know I don't)

Her: Errr...no.. But we'd like to invite you down to have a talk with one of our financial consultants on this.

Me: (laughs) No thanks :D *hangs up*
