Another fake mobile deal caller, promised cheaper contract if I verified details. Wouldn’t even tell me the company name.

Call from arrogant female asking for my Father, who if still alive would be 118 years old. When my wife asked caller if she really sounded like an elderly man, the caller admitted "no, not really" and just hung up.
