A lady with a strong Indian accent. Claimed to be from EE, saying I always pay my bill on time so I can receive a 10% discount! She actually said "this sounds like a great deal right?" I said I can't talk now and she hung up! Sounds like a scam to me!!! Be careful everyone :)

Just had a, call from this number claiming to be from EE. Indian sounding lady who when questioned said she was calling from London not Bishops Stortford. Scam!
Telemarketer
21 Jan 2025
Claimed to be from Tesco Mobile and asked for details of my current mobile phone charges. The caller hung up immediately when I requested that my number is removed from the dialling list. Either the caller was a telemarketer but the fact they finished the call in the manner they did suggests that they're not a customer focused outfit or the caller was a scammer.
