Scam query

Lynseyxjane — Sat, 10 Aug 2024 12:18:01 GMT

I had a call from an unknown number saying from EE and offering 40% discount. I just had to confirm my email. Which I did. And they sent me a code from no-reply@info.ee.co.uk. Looked legit so I gave the code. The lady told me I passed security and must stay on the line so she could transfer me to a colleague. Kept telling me I MUST stay on the line which set alarm bells ringing. Within a minute I had an email from the same email address telling me my password had been changed. I hung up. Changed my password. Changed my email address. Please beware as this is the same email address that left emails come through from EE

I just had similar scam for 40% off but didn't give them any of my details. They asked me to confirm my last bill and I said you should know what it is if your offering me a discount. They said they knew already but I had to confirm to them to prove who I was.

I said if you're legit you can email me my 40% discount as you will already have my email on record. They hung up.

The number they called from was
