This number gave my other half a ring and surprisingly, the person on the line seemed to know his name. Since he’s a bit deaf, he handed me the phone. The guy sounded like he might have been from India or Pakistan and was trying to find out who supplies our services normally. I was pretty clear I wouldn’t share any personal info with some random stranger calling out of the blue, but he just kept going with what sounded like a rehearsed spiel. After repeating myself, I finally had enough and ended the call. Looks like a total scam to me.
