Had 2 calls from this number. When I picked up they put the phone down.
I have had 6 calls in the last week. I have not answered them
Got a call from this number answered as expecting a call from Chester as soon as I said Hello they hung up
Nothing, they hang up.
Couple pf calls over the last few days, I say 'hello' then they hang up. Maybe they hoping you call them back at some hyper inflated charge?.
+44 1244 338134 Called me on Friday at 12.12, man said is this Ms (used my first name), I said yes, he then asked me something like ‘how is your day’ … I said “Who are you?” To which responded something like ‘MoneySupermarket’ calling to see if you’re currently getting the best deal for your gas and electricity… I told him politely that I’m sorry but I’m working right now, he then said ‘it will only take a couple of minutes!’ Which I don’t believe a genuine caller would say, if someone is working you apologise not pressure them to continue… I hung up! They have tried to call again this morning at 9 something and I ignored then blocked the number ! I suspect this is some sort scam offering cheap deals and then asking for your card details for direct debit. But who knows. I just found the caller rude and pushy!
