I got a call from someone named "Sam" claiming to be with Vodafone, trying to pitch a cheaper plan. It felt off since my contract still has a few months left and Vodafone never reaches out about these things before. I threw some questions at him to test if he was legit but he couldn’t answer properly and then just ended the call.

I got a call from a bloke with a heavy foreign accent claiming to be Sam from Vodafone, saying my contract was about to end (which it wasn't) and trying to pitch me a cheaper deal. He asked for my name, which seemed strange since I would've thought Vodafone already had that info. I told him I was busy and asked him to call back. I then double-checked with Vodafone, who told me neither Sam nor that number was connected to them - it was a scam. When Sam phoned again and I mentioned Vodafone’s response, he just hung up straight away.

Got a call from someone pretending to be from my bank, trying to get my account info. Definitely a scammer.

I picked up and said hello a few times, but the person just hung up without saying anything. In the background, it sounded like a busy call centre. I've gone ahead and blocked the number now.
