Said they were from Companies House re a new company I set up and was checking details. Got suspicious especially as they asked about the bank. Called within minutes of the company being registered.

Got a call from this number pretending to be from 3 saying that they want to upgrade my account for free and that i just have to reset my password from the link in the mail. Be careful guys the mail and everything seems legit.

Stating from the Meter Disconnection company for unpaid invoices. They could not spell the department they were calling on behalf of nor could they confirm the invoice number or outstanding amount(s) - insisting they speak to our MDs. Bizarre call - if trying to get money, you would be asking for payment but was more just a nuissance call but they kept calling. Now blocked but just really rude.

Spoke with someone claiming to be from Sky technical team due to problems in network, which is actually happening today. Asked me to confirm my email, which i did, but asked me to spell it. Told me he could see the email address attached to account, but needed to confirm i was account holder. Ended uo with a 5min58seconds arguement because 'He was from Sky and not trying to access my account'. Ended up hanging up the call because i realised how long the arguement actually went on
