Called today and told me he was from my provider EE (which I don’t use) so I said “Ok, how can I help?” He sounded very anxious with an Indian or Pakistani accent and stuttered so much he just put the phone down on me. It was probably his first attempt at scamming and he bottled out!! Shame really as I love winding them up!
