Tried really hard to sell me a Samsung phone for £35/month but wouldn’t understand I didn’t want one. Put her ok hold for 10 minutes, when I went back to her, she’d gone. Clearly didn’t want my money…

Lady called with a strong indian accent. Call sounded like a noisy call-centre. Called asking which phone I had.. when I asked where they got my number they hung up.

claims to be from EE Network offering a deal on a new iphone. Thick Indian accent which I could barely understand. it's apparent that this number has been hijacked by Indian scam call centre. unfortunate for the actual company that own this block of numbers are the victim of scammers using a fake CLI (Caller Line Identifier)
