Received a call from this number in the evening which is unusual for legit companies. Answered but said nothing and they remained silent too. I wouldn’t trust it.

Claimed to be from 3 network, which is normal since I’m a customer of 3. Then claimed to be able to provide a 45% discount, but first said I had to tell them how much I’m currently paying to see what the discount amount would be. Hung up at this point as that’s a red flag for me. If they really are 3, they wouldn’t need me to tell them how much I currently pay.

Missed call while I was out and no message left. These types of calls are frustrating as there is no way to know the purpose.

Claimed to be from Sky TV and mentioned a refund due on my account. Asked for bank details to process it. I do not use Sky, so this was clearly fraudulent and an attempt to obtain financial information.
