Called offering 40% off Vodafone bill I asked why and she hung up the call

The caller claims to be from Vodafone offering "30% off monthly bills" - but I doubt they are actually from Vodafone, given that the number is a VOIP number operated by a different company, not a Vodafone number, and the caller had a very strong South Asian accent, implying an overseas scam call centre.

I picked up and said hello. Caller, a recording or computer said 'goodbye'. Most odd so blocked number anyway.

This is a Paint Workshop. They Called me twice, for no reason that I can think of, they left no message, and you can’t ring them back.
