I suspect @Gamerhaven89  it would be a scam.  Any call saying we can save you almost half on your bill, I would put into the too good to be true pile.  Good that you hung up, as many get enticed and before you know it you have parted with money or have shared too much much private financial information.

I always end up hanging up but only after making them waste their time talking to me first lol just found it strange thst the number was from a legit company called Wrexham storage but then thst trucaller app said it was from fivepips I thought soon as mentioned discount of 45%  that it be a scam but made her explane it to me first just to waste thier time
