Called me then hung up?
I refused 2 answer
Hung up when answered - definitely spam
Phishing call claiming to be from O2 and eligible for some kind of upgrade. Wasn't very clear what the upgrade was. Call showed as coming from Aberfeldy (small town in Scotland) while the guy clearly didn't know where it is. Sent two messages headed from O2 UK asking me to enter a code via a link while staying on the line. Hung up at this point.
Asked about giving me 40% off a new contract since I was with o2, have never held an o2 contract, definitely spam
Working for Currys Mobile he said there is no Currys Mobile. You can have a bit of fun with them. They then called back a few times off a different number each time. Do not give ANY details over
Pretending to be carphoneware house
Said calling about Vodaphone contract
Refused to clearly say the company name and asked three times. Got very irate on third time when I asked him to repeat the company name and he hung up. Most likely a scam.
Fake people
No message, no answer and phone ends when called back. Could be spam not sure
