Is this a scam call?

batdog — Fri, 08 Nov 2024 10:22:56 GMT

I just received a call from 07418 374054 from a male claiming to be from EE mobile network.

I don't recall EE ever contacting me from a mobile number and when I mentioned this he hung up.

This obviously makes me think it's a scam, but wanted to double check if anyone is aware of this number

It's probably a scam, being from a mobile no. Report spam calls by filling the form @ https://www.bt.com/exp/help/contact-bt/form/scams

Hi @batdog

Just on the back of @XRaySpeX's advice, definitely report this to us please.

You can see a list of numbers on our Phone numbers EE partners will call from, and How do we contact you? pages that we use for any contact.

I hope this helps.

Linzi 😊

Hi mate,

I’ve had a call from them as well. It’s 100% a scam. I’ve reported to number hopefully the’re stopped before then steal money from the vulnerable.

Hi,

I just received a call from 01274 041779 offering a promotional discount to my monthly bill.

unsure whether this was legitimate or not?

Hey there @Zoe645, welcome to the EE Community!
I've had a double check and this definitely isn't a number we would call from.

Just to be sure, did you share any personal details with the caller?

Don't forget you can always check if a number is one we will call from on this list that @Linzi_H shared above 😊
