This is fraud. Claiming to be 3 and saying they want to offer me a discount on my bill. Without saying my name or any of my details. Her first question was how much is my bill. This question is a security questions which they ask when doesn't credit checks to check you are who you say you are. Do not share it. I said to her well you should know if you are 3, then she said she can see it but needs it for security. I said well no this is confidential. She said no problem then bye.
I answered and a woman was singing in Hindi, then went silent so I hung up and blocked.
