Claimed to be O2, offering me 30% off my bills. Foreign speaking. All i had to do was answer questions regarding my experience with O2, good/bad/average. The first question was how i find the service, then he said “we are working on your phone as we speak”…i immediately hung up.

Just received a call from this number ... Indian call centre, claiming to be from Autodesk Network. No idea who that even is, so clearly nothing to do with me! I'm gonna say this is a spammer, so safely ignore this number.

I had a missed call from this unknown number, which is why I searched for it here. Seeing that 100+ other people have also looked it up, it appears to be some form of spam, so I will not be returning any calls.

I was called from this number saying I was entitled to a refund of bank charges. Then the foreign sounding male told me my name and address (correctly) then asked me for my date of birth which I declined to give. He became persistent but when I said "send me a letter" he rang off. Just another scam attempt.
