SCAMMERS also use software to have any number they wish to appear on your phone’s caller ID screen. This method, known as ‘spoofing’, means they can appear to be calling from a legitimate number linked to a person or company, when in fact they aren’t.

HOW COMES IT ALWAYS AN International phone call from INDIA city of Kolkata
When a sales person or other individual has initiated the phone call, you should never give out your debit or credit card number. IT’S A COMMON SCAM FOR CRIMINALS TO PRETEND TO REPRESENT A LEGITIMATE COMPANY TO GAIN ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION. If you want to place an order or purchase something over the phone, you should be the one making the call. And be wary of the number you are calling as well. Don’t call the phone number you received by email or one that was left on your voicemail. Instead, look up the customer service or sales department phone number on the company’s official website. ……………. Reply : I WILL GO TO THE SHOP and give my I.D
A SCAMMER FROM A CALL CENTER may use social media, email, and websites to disseminate bogus job opportunities or disguise themselves as a real company. By making the account, page, or message appear legitimate using a real company's name, logo, and other information, it has a better chance of fooling you BEWARE………. IT IS BEST TO VISIT STORE / SHOP IN PERSON
Received 7 calls in a row from them. I rejected each call then they bombarded me with calls. I've now blocked the number

Picked up phone put on mute, some Indian guy, "hello hello hello" , then proceeded to sing down the phone, lasted for about 2-3 mins then he hung up. Was enjoying his singing though. SCAMMER probably.
