Call appears to be from somewhere in the Hebrides islands but caller has very strong Asian accent. Claims that my mobile provider EE has a new deal and can offer a free headset. I am not with EE and in the fraction of a second after I said I was not interested, the phone went dead. I am almost certain this is a Spam/Phishing call and have blocked the number
