Have phones me twice today saying they're from Vodafone. Foreign accent, couldn't tell me my name or any details about me. Couldn't tell me about my current phone plan or how much I currently spend. Said he would be able to confirm my name after I tell him my name for security reasons first... :D

Vodafone confirmed it’s not them. Very likely a scam call

Apparently it’s Vodafone. They called me from their sales department with plan reduction offers but couldn’t tell me how much I’m paying
