We all get unwanted phone calls offering us free holidays, free phones, fantastic prizes, etc etc, from India.
l usually try and flog them some blinds or something.
Last night l had a chap from India offering me a phone. l told him he had phoned the order hotline and asked for his credit card number so that l could process his order. At first he did not want to give me his card details,but after about a minute of me telling him he had phoned the order hotline he gave me.....
His card number start and expiry date 3 digit security number
No mention was ever made of what he was buying or for how much.
l thanked him for his order of £300 and told him his order would be despatch to him within 3 to 4 days. l then hung up on him.
Poor chap is now wondering what he has bought for £300. l did expect him to phone back, but he never did. l have no idea if the card details are correct. But who cares. We all had a good laugh.
