I have had this type of call at least three times this year, and as soon as i hear that it is an indian type accent i know right away that no matter what it is about it will be a load of tosh, They must think that all people are totally thick and believe theire hype, I normally let them rabbit on with their fake background noise going on, them tell them just to F..k O..and put the phone down......They also use fake phone numbers that make it seem like a legit call, BUT IT IS POSSIBLE,WITH SPECIAL APPLICATIONS, to make a call to the general public and make it show that it is coming from an entirely different place than were it really is coming from..But if you ring the UK number it does not exist ..It is normally an 00 number which would originate from out side the UK...If its an Indian call ITS FAKE.
