Said they were calling from 3G on behalf of all mobile networks offering me discount on my bill. Strong Indian accent and wouldn't disclose which actual company he was working for. Offered to reduce my current mobile contract costs significantly as soon I confirmed my details for security reasons (RED FLAG!!!). At this point I started winding him up and he hung up on me.

Said he was from three and that I had been picked to have my bill reduced. Then asked how much I paid. I said you should know that. He said has to be confirmed asked for my email so could confirm price reduction. Cut off call. Scam?
