Scam on BT?

Options
I just had an interesting phone call from an Indian call centre re my BT account and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

A man started off my quoting my telephone number to me and then said I had been awarded free calls on my BT line forever.

He then wanted my bank account details - which he didn't get!


Surely this must be a scam?

Anyone else had this call?

    Lot of these scams going around where people are masquerading as a trustworthy person or business to obtain sensitive info.
