Just had a surprise call on my mobile from an Indian call centre acting for T Mobile. The caller said I had won a phone contract and phone based on my number being pulled out of a hat based on a survey carried out and then started asking me for personal details like what my existing tariff was, my address and so on. As the caller didn't seem very bona fide (his English was very bad and accent very thick which is not what I would expect from a bona fide off shore call centre from India) I insisted on calling the company back.
When I did it turned out I hadn't won anything, they were trying to flog me a new tariff just like any other provided would.
