Hi

 

Just received a call from this number claiming to be EE offering me 30% discount off my bill till my contract ends.

Number 02086385181.

The minute they asked me to confirm my email address I hung up and blocked.

When googled number it says its a company called Wave Crest Networks Ltd.

Good afternoon @Donnaca76 

Welcome to the EE Community 😁

I've had a check of the numbers our team will call from, and this doesn't look to be one that we would use, so you've definitely made the right call!

You can also check out our handy guide with all the details you need to know on these kind of calls and how to spot them.

I've just had the same call but for 40%. Told them to put it in writing and I'd look at it 🤣 then ended call. Somehow think I'll not receive anything!  Blocked number.
