Tried calling, iPhone filtered the call, no voice message received or explanation as to who they are, and hung up without proving details. As above, likely a scam caller.

High resolution I meant to say
Repeated junk calls. A woman identified as Jenny who asks me if my phone is working. I queried her credentials and she threatened to send me a high-pressure picture of a butt if I told anyone she was a scammer.
crazy.. woman said she was Obama's daughter and if i didn't post on minichan.net every day for a month i would lose my sim card !!!
Total scam. Called 6 times in a row. An Asian woman. She was polite but told me my phone would blow up if I didn't give her £800 in Amazon gift cards. I hung up and she called back pretending to be Nigel Farage asking for donations to "send the boats back to Hawaii."
An Indian sounding lady asked me if my phone was working. I said yes of course it is, and she said no it was broken and if I didn't pay £12,000 (???) my SIM card would be "deleted from the internet". Makes no sense!! My phone is only worth £500 to begin with... I don't understand these scammers
This number called at 1:17pm. An East Asian-sounding woman said she wanted to talk to me about my SIM card. I told her she was through to a department of the UK police force that dealt with spam and fraud and asked if she was calling to report a crime. She said she was going to block my SIM card, and hung up.
Said they were calling from my mobile provider and said my SIM card was going to be blocked in 48hrs . She asked for my email to which I replied if you're from my provider you would know already. I hung up and they have have called back 6 times in 3hrs . I haven't answered any.
As with other reports, “Jenny” said my SIM was going to be blocked. I said I didn’t wish to talk to her and hung up. She called 3 times before giving up
Asian accent. Said she was called Jenny and was blocking my sim because I called her a scammer😂
Southasian accent, said my SIM would be blocked in 2 days, I stayed on the line so I could have info to report the scam, as suspected they asked for my email, I said no and they tried to talk me out of it
I answered the phone, had a Mexican standoff on who would speak first, hung up after 30 seconds.
Asian voice said she was called Jenny and there was serious issue with my Sim card 🤣 that's a new one lol Said she was a spammer and she t0ld me to shut up.
