Possible scam call?

Nipper1951 — Thu, 26 Jan 2023 18:16:28 GMT

I've had 16 calls from 01942 901130 in the last two days. It shows up as "EE Additional Lines" and appears to be from Wigan. I haven't answered any of them, but when I cancel the call, it rings immediately afterwards. I've looked on some of the whocalledme websites and it appears to be a scam as several people say they were asked for personal details and passwords. Anyone else getting these calls?

@Nipper1951 Even if it is EE don’t ever give personal information over if you have received the call especially if you wasn’t expecting that call, They have called you so they know who they are calling,

EE need to stop this sort of cold calling

They are from Interact, 1 of EE's Direct partners.
