https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Security/I-got-scammed-on-friday-and-just-realised-it-please-help/m-p/1528475#M15012 <P>i feel so dumb. i turned 50 today so maybe im old and gullible as normally vigilant but i was busy when they above number called saying they were EE and that im on a 5G tariff but my sim is only 4G which i think is correct as it was a PAYG sim before i moved to pay monthly. So assumed nothing else. They asked for the security code number from EE so i assumed because i got those they were EE, they asked for my email too. which i game stupidly. now i cant access my account and it sayd on the app it was deleted. I lost my job earlier this year and have had a lot of stress with money and trying to find work so have been quite an easy target.</P> Sun, 27 Apr 2025 15:33:43 GMT jecusick 2025-04-27T15:33:43Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Security/I-got-scammed-on-friday-and-just-realised-it-please-help/m-p/1528475#M15012 <P>i feel so dumb. i turned 50 today so maybe im old and gullible as normally vigilant but i was busy when they above number called saying they were EE and that im on a 5G tariff but my sim is only 4G which i think is correct as it was a PAYG sim before i moved to pay monthly.
