didn't recognise number so didn't answer. Obviously a scam or annoying cold caller.

Pretended to be from 3 mobile. Tried to state they would be closing it contract and setting a new one up. Advised them that they wouldn’t be doing that at all. Apparently I was a lovely lady, her sweet baby, and then a few choice words that I would need a translator for. If you have a contact set up that you keep blocked, named Scammers… then add this number to that contact!
