Rang from a landline and it came up on my phone as the person was calling from Corwen, Wales. Indian accent, said he was ringing about my Sky TV package. I told him I didn't have Sky TV and he immediately put the phone down.

Rang saying he was from O2 had an Indian/Pakistani voice. After speaking with him and he realised he was clearly wasting his time with me his voice changed slightly and he asked how old I was. After asking why he said because I sounded “young and cute”. He clearly thought I was a child which is worrying as he was clearly and adult!!

Scam. No answer when I said 'hello', then nothing. One of those when they ring multiple numbers at the same time.
