Man with very strong Indian accent, claimed to be from EE, hung up when I questioned the fact he didn’t know if he was talking to the right person as he hadn’t confirmed my name. He was claiming he could get me a discount on my bill.

Threatening phone call

Said they were calling from EE and offering me a 30% discount. Immediately wondering why but going along with it.. then they ask me to confirm my email address. ... I realise I have no way of being sure this is EE and tell them how can I be sure it's not a scam... they tell me they are calling from EE headquarters.. i say, how can I be sure of that.. they hang up. Blocked!
