Scam/Fraud
15 Nov 2021

Claiming to be from Carphone Warehouse selling contract deals for new phones. Started to try and chat me up when I pretended to be someone I wasn't. Asked to meet up and become 'friends' and eventually I think I creeped him out as he said he had to go but didn't hang up until I told him 'You'll have to hang up first' haha.

Guy with Asian accent claiming to be Carphone Warehouse. Told him I was too busy to talk as I was watching Kitboga Youtube videos. Hung up on him so he could go away and see who Kitboga is. I've now blocked this number.

Some Asian sounding guy (and his supposed supervisor) saying they were Carphone Warehouse and offering some fantastic mobile deal. Pointed out that I really wanted a new phone and contract and had sat at home for weeks waiting someone to phone me with an “offer out of the blue”. He couldn’t understand what I meant so passed me onto his supervisor who equally did not have a clue. Asked if it would be easier if I just gave them my bank and card details without taking a contract out. Oh …. they hung up.

I answered and challenged the bloke that he was a scammer and not carphone warehouse and he gave me a load of abuse before I hung up on him.
