based in Wigan, England. when looked up number. Has rang multiple of people and states this is not a verified number to EE. Offering deals and asking for account information wondering if this is a scam.
I’ve had it this week too. I’m sure it’s a scam so I blocked them. They knew my name and that I was an EE pay as you go but the first 5 digits tell them EE and 50:50 guess in contract or pay as you go
Just had a call from an EE call centre in Wigan. Don’t think they’re real but if this a scam it’s particularly longstanding. Surely EE have the resources to shut this down?

I've had numerous calls from this number, today I answered it cautiously after previously reading these comments. it is indeed EE, I got them to send me a confirmation text which popped into my existing EE text message history. It's basically EE asking if you'd like any of their special offers that you're eligible for.
It is a scam, they have a second person on the phone to EE trying to access the pin. They speak to EE, they send a pin to you which then looks like the caller you are speaking to sent the message. I have spoken to EE today and logged this.
He asked for the second and fourth letters from my password and when I refused he asked me what type of Samsung phone I have - which I don't. I put the phone down. I wonder if they've got hold of a list of names and numbers but not passwords.
