I received a voicemail from a chap named Aaron urging me to get in touch promptly, claiming my details had been handed over to his firm, "Extra Phones," by EE, and he insisted on sorting out some purported issue for me. I tried giving him a ring, but it went straight to voicemail. So, I called again and got through to someone named Ashley, explained who I was, and rather perplexingly asked about his identity since I’d never heard of them before. He didn’t really acknowledge my question and simply placed me on hold - and let me tell you, that waiting music was truly dire. Eventually, he returned to the call, stating he was transferring me, but I couldn’t help but wonder who I’d be speaking to next. Sure enough, the same voice reappeared, albeit with a different name this time. I inquired yet again about who exactly he was, and was met with an incredibly rude response: "If you let me finish, I will tell you." I was taken aback, to say the least! He then claimed that I had upgraded my plan - news to me, I must confess - and that I owed money, supposedly on behalf of EE, who had enlisted him for collection. I called out his bluff, which only seemed to amplify his rather unpleasant demeanour. I made it clear that I only communicate with EE directly regarding my account, and as a customer of a legitimate telecommunications company, I've never had any dealings with Extra Phones. After all, they’ve never reached out to me about anything. I decided to cut the conversation short and block his number on my phone. What an absolute muppet! To top it off, he called me back almost immediately, leaving another message that sounded strikingly similar, though he did seem to have undergone a rather mysterious change in tone. I’ve encountered some right numpties in my day, but honestly, you sir, are a complete cactus! Anyone who dares to respond to such nonsense ought to do so with caution!

I can vouch for everything mentioned here. I got a call from that same number and while Alex wasn’t impolite or anything, he did seem to think I might be interested in whatever he was selling. I’m not really sure what the purpose of his call was, but it’s a bit unsettling how much info he seems to already have on my number. I’ve now blocked his number on my phone and honestly, I’d recommend others do the same to avoid any hassle.

This number rang me earlier, and I just let it go to voicemail. Afterwards, I had a quick look online and only found one person had a gripe about it. I gave them a ring back out of curiosity, and sure enough, it was that bloke Alex. He was trying to sell me some Orange Business mobile deals. Not the nicest chap, to be honest, and he didn’t take no for an answer at all when I said I wasn’t keen. Proper rude, really.

Typical nonsense, phone keeps ringing but when I pick up there’s nobody there. Tried calling back and got a voice saying it was trying to connect me, then a message saying I’d reached Alex V’s voicemail. This is definitely a Shrewsbury area code.
