Received a call from a Vodafone number, seemed like a generic outreach – mate.
Is the Vodafone line a scam?
Summary — +443333040191
Expert Opinion
Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, the calls from +443333040191 often disguise themselves as official Vodafone support. Many users report receiving fraudulent letters, SIM‑swap requests, and premium‑rate sign‑ups that appear to come from this number. The pattern points to a scam operation that exploits Vodafone’s brand recognition to harvest personal data and banking details. Always verify the caller by hanging up and dialing the official Vodafone customer service number from your bill or the provider’s website. Never share PINs, passwords, or payment information over the phone. Use call‑blocking tools, report the number to your carrier and to the national fraud centre, and keep a log of suspicious interactions.
