Possible scam

Had a call from 0800 048 7022 and also WhatsApp +44 7449 144940, email from sale@eepromotions.net.
The woman was telling me about a 50% discount from my current bill but made me change my password and asked me to provide my residential details.
it sounds like a scam but I have accidentally provided my email address and they changed my password. I have changed it back but is there any in addition that I need to report?

@Masa0296  You say you’ve changed it back.  The best thing to do is change it to a new altogether.    

To contact EE Customer Services dial 150 From your EE mobile or 0800 956 6000 from any other phone.

Hello @Masa0296 ,

Welcome to the community,

That is a scam call, also, EE do not use WhatsApp , they would not ask you for all your personal details. Well done for changing your password they certainly would not change your password.. 

Yes report it, I would say, the number send to 7726 as SCAM.

To contact EE customer service dial 150 from your mobile phone or ring customer service for free using Skype or another phone: +44 800 079 8586 or +44 800 956 6000.

Just had the same call, didn't sound genuine from the off. I asked why they were calling me to offer me a 50% discount and was told by 'Oliver' that due to losing g customers they were offering me this for my loyalty. Asked me to confirm my emaila address so I said I wasn't comfortable doing  that as felt this could be a scam. He offered me a number to call his manager 'Sarah' to check and I said I wasn't going to call a number either and would rather miss out on the offer. Then Googled the number and found this so glad I did!

Hi @sarahmgale

Welcome to the community. 

You have done the right thing by researching the number that called you before providing any personal information. 

To report this please text CALL followed by a space and the number that called you to 7726. 

Katie 🙂
