SCAM call from the following number:

Offering 50% discount on a new contract and phone. If you get calls like this please hang up or tell them you will speak to EE yourself directly via online or in store. DO NOT give them your email address or click any links if they send them to you via text message.

Hi @wood_sl

Sadly very common. The number will be different next week or when it is blocked.

Thanks

Just had a call from the same number. She said she was from EE and could offer me a 50% to upgrade. I asked her to confirm she was from EE, and if so, tell me my date of birth. She hung up!!!

Thanks for flagging this too, @HughC178.

If you haven't already I would definitely recommend filling out the form that @XRaySpeX shared above 😊

If you're ever unsure of a call in the future too, you can check up directly on the numbers that our team call from, along with our direct sales partners too.
