Solar scam.

Recieved a cold call about having solar panels fitted to the roof, financed by the solar rebate. Had my name and mobile number, I worked out how. When I refused to comply, he went overtime trying to convince me to continue. I asked how the panels would fit on my caravan roof. Indian sounding voice, with several seconds delay to answer my query. The phone number was Queensland based, over the internet. Bells ringing, scam alert. Another cold call using details from a finance broker, who has sold contact details in a list. Be aware everyone.
