Expert Opinion
Approach with caution when calls like this crop up, especially if they follow recent purchases. These often masquerade as legitimate follow-ups from retailers but push unsolicited offers such as free SIMs or warranty extensions to extract details or payments. Verification with the official company line is essential—many confirm these as scams. Hang up immediately on anything suspicious, never share personal info, and report to Action Fraud. Block the number to avoid repeats, and consider registering with the Telephone Preference Service for fewer nuisance calls. Stay vigilant to protect against identity theft or financial loss.
