EE sending me a new SIM? Scam?

[Donhay]

Just had a call claiming to be from EE. Said due to “recent merger” I would receive new SIM in next few days but would retain existing number and nothing else would change. 
Then started asking for ID confirmation.
Didn’t feel right so ended the call. 
Anyone else had this?

Number calling was 0203 885 1875

Just had a similar call yesterday from the number 01223 380666 saying due to the recent merger between EE and BT there have been numerous complaints about poor signal and data; they would like to upgrade the sim.

I’ve just had a call from the same number, I didn’t answer, but recent posts on ‘Who Called Me’ made me suspicious too.

Welcome to the EE Community

Please report the call to be investigated at Report a scam call | Help

This is a scam. The woman I spoke with was very convincing. I actually thought I was being pedantic asking her to prove she was ee. 

When I called ee is surprised to find it was fraudulent. Luckily I didn't proceed but I might well have.
