Said I could save money on my mobile bill. Didn't know who I was or what I was paying already. I politely said I hoped they reviewed their life choices and whether their god would forgive them for trying to scam people. They didn't respond and hung up.
I have had this number call my mobile 7 times this past week. I don't answer it as it's a number I do not recognise. I have no idea how they have got my mobile number. For me it's stressful as I have anxiety and depression and it's really worrying how they got my phone number
Bloke asked me if I wanted to buy some spam but we get ours from Aldi.
They called three times but did not leave a message. I am with virgin so I’m glad I did not reply and now I realise it is a scam.
Rang persistently; I picked up on the fourth ring and was told that they were calling from virgin/O2. Asked them to confirm the name of the account holder they were trying to contact and they swiftly hung up.
he said calling from 3G but when i asked few time that who you calling ? he did not answer and silent
Said they were representing 3 network and need to stay on phone to activate the sim otherwise it will be blocked. Had some personal details but got angry when my husband said he’s not buying the story. His last words were I’m going to block your sim then! Disconnect and blocked
No message on answer phone, suspect spam call
Caller asked about my experience with O2 or Virgin - I have had neither for a while so expect this is Spam - they quickly ran off when I explained I use neither...
