The other day i got a call on my mobile from a really odd number, didnt recognise the area number, didnt look english. When i picked up all i got was a dialing tone.
About a minute later i got a call again from that same number, i answered it, and a guy asked for Alec (my name). I asked why he wanted to talk to Alec (didnt want him to think he was talking to me, but to someone else) and after a couple more askings he finally said he was Alec's friend from Nigeria. I just said 'Sorry, but you can't talk to Alec.' He did sound like he was a guy from Nigeria, but i dont know anybody there, and i have definitely not been there.
Really odd thing to happen, i just assumed it was a phishing scam.
