Spam claiming to be EE

Don't answer the phone to this number. I had a missed call from it. Rang it back and an automated message said it was EE.

I've just spoken to EE and they claim they havnt contacted me and suggested I posted the number in here to help you guys not get caught short by these scammers

Hi @Penguin88

Thanks for coming here 🙂

You can report this call to EE if you text 'CALL' to 7726 followed by a space, then the number that called you, we use the data collected to help protect all of our customers.

Please see our What numbers will EE partners call from? Help page for information on EE Partners and what numbers that may call you from.

Thanks.
