SIM card scam

[JLilley2012]

Hi all,

i had a gay call me saying my SIM card will be blocked tomorrow and EE will be sending out a new SIM card for me and they need to provide it is me and will I give them my email so they can send me a email and I have to click on the link and send them the code I kept saying to them the email was block by gmail due to scam Alert and when I told them this they kept sending me emails and they kept getting blocked they got so upset they ended the call then I had a follow up call 5 mins later tell me that they are merging with 3 network and they need my details to send new SIM card as my sim will be blocked, I told them if your EE you will have my details and once they could not tell me anything about my account I blocked them and come on here to report it.

guys be careful they sending out very nasty emails that will take over your account or system I did not open it I reported it as a scam and deleted them EE would not be like this and if in doubt tell them you are calling EE on a second phone.

be safe

Just had the same attempt from 01484262371 on my father, luckily he had me around to deal with it. I figured it didn't sound right so googled the phone number for hits and hung up. When I checked his emails there was one from EE with a password change authorisation code which obviously he did not initiate.
