"Claimed to be from my network 3 demanded I gave my name when I refused they told me to [profanity] off and hung up"
"Asked for personal info ..... They claimed to be from a company, my phone provider 3 mobile, said that my phone would be unusable in 2 days unless i upgraded to the new SIM using new technology, said i needed to verify my phone number and they would send a text message to my phone and could i check it now and tell them what the code was ? It was a text from 'Google' which said do not share this validation code with anybody, obviously these scammers had tried to get into my Google account and needed the verification code to validate it while pretending to be me, she got irate because i wouldnt tell her and asked her to send me an email, she knew the jig was up and i'd sussed her out so she ended the call with " Go [profanity] yourself !" and something about [profanity] and my grandmother, and references to a goat !"

"They claimed to be from a company - claimed to be from Three network, asked if satisfied and if I got text msgs from Three, said would send a code, could I tell her what it was. I advised I would not give her any code over the phone. She then went to say she had a 40% off offer on my bills, the call cut off a little after that. (maybe was looking at an incentive to get me to give code but will never know). Anyone calling me asking me to give a code over the phone is a scammer."
