Phonefinder Scam or not

[wolverine_dcp]

I have received two calls from these idiots asking me if i want to proceed with my cellphone contract. I am worried because i haven't applied for any contract.

1) Are they pushing their luck and hoping i just sign a contract

2) Is some scammer trying to open an account on my name

Thanks in advance

Um you didn't apply for a contract, ofcourse they are pushing their luck?

Hi guys... I'm from Phonefinder
We are not a scam we are only a free to use comparison engine for phone contract deals... But we are unable to sell the contracts which is why we pass your details onto the service provider who can (we don't conduct credit checks or ask for banking details... But the connecting service provider does)

You will never actually apply on phonefinder, you simply request a call (it's possible the sales consultant is just confusing matters with the wrong words

Please feel free to use our comparison journey... You don't have to apply with us... Just use the knowledge to then call the network for the deal you want (that would make us just as happy)

So why are you harassing the OP if he hasn't used your services?

So why are they also passing on the details of the OP to the service provider

Exactly what a scammer would say

So Phonefinder, are you DMASA members?

I can't imagine why... We don't have a call centre ourselves, we pass on contact info to the SP who follow up with a call... Unless the OP filled in his details we are unable to pass them on because we would never have them (I really don't mean to say that the OP did fill in his details... I just cannot think of another way)

I would however like to end your constant calls... I suspect you did fill in your details (maybe without expecting a call?) if you give me your cellphone number by emailing [email protected] I will contact the SP and have you removed (from our system and theirs)

I've had multiple calls about cell contracts lately.

I simply answer no and end the call. Then I block the number. Soon they call from another number.

Wash rinse repeat...

If you didn't give them your details maybe mark them or check if they are scammers on TrueCaller or Should I Answer? No company should be allowed to sell Contracts via phone calls.

I didn't fill in my details and why should I give you my phone number when I didn't give you the number in the 1st place. Don't worry I will be reporting you guys. Popi ?
