Odd phone call

Markiemarc — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 11:36:32 GMT

Just had a call offering a discount on my EE bill,but the caller id was Mr Dryclean. Is this genuine? I think not,scam maybe?

Any thoughts on this?

Doctor Google tells me that number is for "Mister Dryclean" in Stanmore.

I doubt a dry-cleaning shop would have anything to do with phone upgrades.

Had a call from 0161 5785353 claiming to be from EE. Slight American accent. Line was very distorted and when I told him this, he ended the call. Obvious scam call!
