                    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?
