I had a legit Three support call some time ago. I remember being told to take the offer from a future sales call. That call came, they wanted all sorts of information. I just politely said I can't have the offer because I can't provide the information. The call ended with a simple bye.
If you ever want to be amused search YouTube for scam callers. Some are truly hilarious. The rage   |
Yes, i've read about overseas call centres doing this in order to make extra money for themselves.
To be fair, in the case of Virgin, customer details were left unencrypted on the internet for months, so this is why scammers are contacting their customers. They appear to be legitimate as they have lots of data that is correct.
