9 monthsGot a call from a bloke with an Indian accent about some phone network deal. Asked him twice where he was calling from as I couldn’t catch it properly, but still didn’t hear, so I ended the call. He rang back straight away, saying something about upgrading to the iPhone 17. Told him I wasn’t interested at all and hung up, then blocked the number.9 monthsGot a call from some guy in India claiming he was with Tesco mobile. Told him, “I don't shop at Tesco, I only do Asda.” Then he goes, “No mate, Tesco mobile, your network.” I was like, “I don’t even own a mobile.” That seemed to throw him off, and he just ended the call.IndiaTesco9 monthsGot a call from someone in India claiming to be from Sky Network, asking if I'm satisfied with their service.
