Posed as Virgin Media – looks fraudulent.
Someone rang my daughter’s number claiming her Tesco SIM required an update; when she asked why it wasn’t from a Tesco line, they said it was an auto‑generated number and wouldn’t be recognised.
Just spam.
A scam involving SIM cards.
A female caller pretended to be from Tesco Mobile, insisting my SIM needed replacement and a new one would be sent. She then asked for the email linked to my Tesco account; after I gave it, I immediately received password‑reset emails from my provider. Realised it was a scam and ended the call. My email password has now been changed. Still puzzled how she knew my number was with Tesco Mobile – perhaps an insider?
A woman sounded convincing until I realized it was a scam. Having just bought this phone weeks ago, I doubted the call’s legitimacy, told her I didn’t want to continue, and said I’d contact Tesco, the retailer.
The caller claimed to be from Tesco Mobile, offering a SIM upgrade – definitely a scam.
