⚠️ Scam Alert – Stay Vigilant

Muhammad_ashraf — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 11:20:38 GMT

I received a call from 02081067409 claiming to be from EE. The caller said my SIM would be blocked within a couple of days and that I needed to update it and order a new SIM card.

This didn’t sound right. I challenged it and said that EE does not contact customers in this way or ask for SIM updates over the phone. As soon as I questioned it, the caller hung up.

Please be careful this appears to be a scam attempt. Do not share any personal or account details over the phone.

Stay alert and warn others.

I also received a call just now saying my EE SIM was going to be replaced and asking for my email to 'confirm the account '. I explained that I was unwilling to give any details but this guy really persisted. He was very polite and quite convincing! I declined giving my email address, but I'm sure this is a scam.
