30% off + free ear buds - SCAM concern

rgcuk79 — Mon, 24 Jul 2023 12:57:17 GMT

Just been called from someone claiming to be EE from 0113 534 6347 offering 30% off bills and starting to ask questions about bill, address, length of time at property and then email address.

Felt wrong and hung up - having checked out the number seems to have been used for an O2 scam recently aswell.

Wanted to flag for anyone else with concerns.

@rgcuk79 Text CALL to 65075 and then when prompted text the number.

That came back with an automated message about me wanting to leave which is not my intention.

Wrong Number! The text should be to 7726 (S.P.A.M. on your keypad).
