scam

Had a very nice call from one of EE's service people about an issue earlier today.
Just now - 3 hours later - I get a call from an Indian person (why do they even bother to make up Western names when their accent more often than not makes them unintelligible?) pretending to be from EE and trying to scam me. After I said " no thanks" and hung up I get several calls from different numbers in quick succession that I decline, block and report as scam after googling the numbers! It would be interesting to know if and how often this happened to other customers?

Thanks @MaHü

I've double checked, and those numbers aren't used by any of our direct partners.

You can report these numbers by texting CALL followed by the number to 7726.
