Caller (sounded Indian) claimed to be from O2 with some nonsense about 5G upgrade. Wanted email address. Asked her to confirm what email address was on my file. This got her flustered. I hung up.

It is a scam call. They don’t say anything until you say hello.

Call came up as suspected scam. Indian lady states "I'm calling from Vodafone, how are you today?" I said not interested and hung up.

2 missed calls - in quick succession, I didn't answer but checked the number here and it would imply a scam based on others being called by the same number. (And I don't have car finance)

Sounded like an Indian call centre. Knew my name asking about car finance, said no thank you and good buy. The guy seemed quite pushy to keep me on the phone so I just hung up and blocked the number.

Knew it could only be a scam call or phishing call. Unknown and never heard of the place it mentions it grom. Blocked and reported to 7726

Called pretending to be from car finance. Sounded like Indian accent, total scam, blocked immediately.
