Yes it keeps calling thanks for info
Ik it keeps calling
Yeah, called 3 times - no voicemail, I'm with Vodaphone as well. Looked at this - now blocked. I texted them and asked who they were, no response.
Claimed to be from Vodafone, sent a verification code to my phone and asked me to tell him it so he could type it in at his end. But that would have proved he was me which wouldn't have been true. If he called me from Vodafone then he already knew he was connected to the phone in question.
Call dropped out.
Called 3 times today, missed call and no message left. Checked on here, now blocked!
