Have blocked number now! Caller left a very long voicemail (by accident I guess) in a language other than English! Had an aggressive tone.

Tried to tell me they was o2/virgin media company I hung up 3 times for them to keep ringing back. When I answered all 3 times he wanted my verification codes and all my personal details I genuinely thought it was 02 until he sent me the links to provide my account details over so they can hack into my account and steal all personal info!!! Do not accept numbers and always search the number on google first before you hand over sensitive details
