This Indian accented bloke was phishing for my bank details and even asked for my credit card number. He claimed that he needed that information so he could send me the insurance money from a non-existing car accident. This wasn't the first phone call with this story. I have already dealt with these scammers.

I got multiple unwanted calls regarding laser eye surgery from this number. I have no need for eye surgery. I was confused because this lady who called me was very polite and seemed genuine, but I never asked for this call. She called me by my full name, by the way.
