Very strange call
Scam/Fraud
19 Oct 2023
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
