Have you ever picked up to a dodgy accent claiming it's your mobile provider? This number's linked to repeated reports of callers impersonating EE staff, often with foreign accents, pushing SIM card swaps or vague contract chats before hanging up when questioned. It's a classic scam tactic to phish for personal details or install malware. Don't engage—simply hang up and block the number straight away. If you're an EE customer, verify any issues directly through the official app or website, never via unsolicited calls. Reporting to Action Fraud can help curb these nuisances for everyone.
When they called, they didn’t introduce themselves at first, then launched into the usual ‘how are you today?’ I asked who they were and why they were calling, they got flustered and hung up – came here to check if they’re genuine, mate.
A caller with a strong accent pretended to be from EE. Having read about such scams, I cut the call short.
The caller sounded overseas and claimed to be from EE, so I hung up straight away as I have no contract with them.
An afternoon call alleged to be from EE offered a new SIM, but after I requested confirmation of my contract details, the caller ended the call.
Got a call from someone claiming to represent EE. I asked the purpose, and they replied, "don’t you know?". When I highlighted that they had called me, indicating they knew nothing, they ended the call.
Supposedly from EE.
Looks like a suspect scammer, cheers.
