Zinc Group debt‑collection calls – what to do?
Summary — +441789405052
Expert Opinion
Clearly, this number is linked to a debt‑collection scam targeting former EE or Vodafone customers. Callers repeatedly demand payment for alleged phone bills, often quoting reference numbers and using a Scottish accent to sound credible. Never disclose your full name, address, date of birth or bank details to an unsolicited caller. Hang up, block the number on your handset and report the incident to your network provider and to the Information Commissioner’s Office. If you are unsure, contact EE directly using a known official number. Logging the call time and content can help authorities track the scam and protect others.

The caller claimed to be from EE, and was demanding that I sort out a debt, but when I explained I'm not with EE, they got defensive and said they would send the baliffs, so I told them I'd put the kettle on and see them when they got here, and then I blocked the number
