Same thing has happened to me. I rang it back and in the scammers error he answered.
mobile number: . When he realised, he hung up. Tried ringing back straight to EE mobile message. For you EE to sort.

I just had the exact same phone call, thing is I don’t have a Visa debit card, nor do I have £900, as much as I wish I did!

I got another one last Sunday, but from a different phone number, turns out they are using real peoples numbers to try and make them look like Scammers

Nothing to do with EE except the beginning part of the scam caller starts with an EE number
