Curry's pc world foreign scammer. Farted at the idiot down the phone he started shouting some nonsense in a fake language. Told me to suck his cock. So I proceeded to say his mother was a whore, it went down well. I'm satisfied tho.

called claiming to be from carphone warehouse, just the usual scammers disguising their real location with a local UK number. Hang up and block.

Claimed to be from Currys/PC World offering a promotion. Hung up as never asked from a call from them so likely a scam
