Didn’t answer, I get lots of these calls from Uk, Europe and Africa I never answer them
picked up and they hang up the phone. Sounded like an Indian accent.
Very strange call
I got a call from a man who claimed to be from 3 Mobile, offering an iPhone contract. When I unenthusiastically said ‘Yes that would be great’, he didn’t continue with anything. Then I said ‘What now?’ and he hung up. Even though this was obviously a scam, their sales technique was abysmal. Hopefully others don’t fall for these lies and flaccid attempts at securing personal information.
I’ve asked where they calling from and why they have my number: the women responded “JUST GO TO HELL” and put the phone down
