Seems like yet another call centre based abroad, doesn't it?

I received a call from this dodgy number, and let me tell you, the chap on the line had a thick Indian accent. He was masquerading as a representative from BT's Telephone Preference Service and had the audacity to ask for my Visa card details, claiming it was to "verify my identity." I wasn't born yesterday! I’ve now added this number to my block list permanently!

I picked up and said "hello," but there was silence for a bit before a woman finally spoke. I never reveal who I am upfront; I wait for them to identify themselves first, and only then do I decide if I want to continue. This was another classic cold-call scam attempt. Always be careful not to share your personal info or name until you’re sure who’s on the line and why they’re calling. Also, watch out for calls marked as “number withheld” or “private.”

Got a call from someone saying he was with BT's telephone preference service, but he was actually an Indian bloke. He asked for my visa card details to “verify” my identity. I told him to buzz off and ended the call. Then he phoned me three more times but I ignored them. Be cautious, this is definitely a scam.

If this ain't a nuisance call, then I’m stumped what else it might be. Why on earth would they be asking for your credit card expiry date? I just ended the call straight away.

This number kept ringing me 7 times today alone. They really should get blocked or something.

I answered the call, but no one said a word. What’s the point of ringing someone and then staying silent? Proper strange behaviour.

I picked up and a lady asked if I was mrs (my partner's surname not mine). I said no, and she snapped back with "well, then who are you?" I wasn't about to tell her, she kept pushing so I just hung up.
