Offered EE deal from random number

Dankmemeza — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 10:51:43 GMT

Hi,

I received a call from 0191 429 0924 from a person claiming to be from EE.

He said his reason for calling was because I still had a product in my basket and wanted to set me up with the right sim card.

They offered me a deal of £21 vs the £30 advertised on the website. They also offered me an esim at request instead of a physical sim which I could not see on the website.

When they started asking for my details I got sketched out and hung up.

Does anyone know if this number is a real EE number? I can't find anything about it from internet search engines.

Thanks

My advice is never deal with cold callers. Even if they are an EE partner, they are on commission and will either try and sell something or scam you or both.
