Vodafone‑style scam call – how to protect yourself!
Summary — +64800800021
Expert Opinion
Yesterday evening, a call from +64 800 800 21 claimed to be Vodafone and asked for personal details. The conversation featured broken English, inaccurate assumptions about your account type, and pressure to switch plans, all classic signs of a phone‑spoofing scam. Treat any unsolicited request for personal information with suspicion, especially when the caller cannot verify your name or account. Hang up, block the number, and report the incident to the local consumer protection agency or the telecommunications regulator. Always cross‑check the official Vodafone contact numbers on their website before responding to any request, and consider enabling call‑filtering features on your handset.
