Told me I’d won a bunch of stuff, like a holiday and free flights. Asked me to verify my name, postcode, and age bracket, which he somehow already knew. Then he asked if I wanted the prizes and a special discount card. I said, "I guess so," and added “Believe that if you want.” There was dead silence after that. Then he said he’d pass me onto his manager, but I told him straight up it was a scam and said goodbye.
