Just got a dodgy call, definitely a scammer trying their luck.

Got a call from a lady with an Indian accent saying my number might get blocked. She brought up Tesco mobile and then O2. When I told her she’d surely know my actual carrier if she was really from my network (which is none of those), she just ended the call.

I didn’t pick up the call and have since blocked the number. Just got myself a new SIM though, curious if this was how my number got leaked in the first place.

Got a call saying it was Tesco Mobile, and they told me my SIM would be blocked in a week because of a system upgrade. Then they said I was lucky as a loyal customer and could get a free replacement. I said I'd just order one online instead, and they threatened to block my SIM right away. Definitely a con. When I rang them back using my work phone, the same person picked up.

SCAM ALERT!!! Some bloke rang me fuming, telling me my SIM was blocked and that because of some merge with O2, I’d need to get a new one. He was really pushy and angry, proper dodgy phone call.

Got a call from someone claiming to be Alice from Tesco Mobile. When I told her she didn’t sound like an Alice and guessed she had an Indian accent, she snapped back with some rude insult and just hung up on me πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚. Proper cheeky!

They rang me twice in a row, I didn’t pick up the first call and they called again straight away. I almost answered since I’m not far from Penicuik, but after reading the reviews here, I thought better of it!

I had a missed call, didn't pick up at first. The location popped up as Peniculk which made me wanna answer since I live close by. Turns out it's just one of those scam callers, so yeah, better not to pick up.
