"Scam call, no english accent, got multiple calls at once and he was already talking to someone else when I picked up. I told him my phone said it was a scam and asked why he was calling, didn't let him make up some story about where he was from, and he just hung up straight away and blocked my number. Definitely a scam, steer clear!"
