"Asked for personal information, said they were calling on behalf of school my child attends. Checked with school and they confirmed nothing to do with them."
"The caller came on and said hello, and I answered. They said hello again, and I answered, then they asked if I could hear them. I said I could. They sounded like they were in a room with many other people in the background, saying things like, "You have had an accident", "I'm calling from Microsoft", and "Give me your card details now, the long number on the card". Seriously, these scam call centres need to invest more in larger spaces with better sound barriers :D He then said, "I want to talk to you, you f c you f a". He then put himself on mute so that it would look like he was taking time on a call. I left the call open until I got bored and hung up. Do not allow this number to get any details from you!!!"
