They hung up before I even said hello. Pretty sure it was just spam. Blocked.

Silence, then a click and then an Indian lady spoke. Sounded like a busy Indian call centre. Potentially recording voices to use for further scams. Claimed to be Vodafone - clearly not. I’m not with Vodafone and never have been. Scam, avoid.

Google flagged this as spam. When screened, no one spoke. Dodgy behaviour and definitely not a legit call.
