Several over less than 2 weeks. They are scammers. I left a automated message on my answer machine to try and put them off.. that states " hello, your through to Northumberland Police Anti Fraud Department, press 1 to leave message, press 2 to talk to an officer..... etc " yet the muppets keep calling !...and they keep pressing buttons on their phone going by the frustrated mumblings and sounds. LOL ! Even that essage doesn't put them off.

Claimed to be from Three, I’m not on Three. Scammer.
Indian man Peter wanted to offer me 30% discount on my o2 bill. He said he didn't need any details from me. He would send a 6 digit pin to my phone. Asked what department he was from and his surname. Needless to say he hung up!
Wanted to sell me a phone! Went along with it, said I didn’t need an iPhone as I had the new iPhone 25 🤣 told me to F off! 🤣🤣
Cancelled the call before I could pick it up
