Scam Warning: 01490 590213 Pretending to Be EE

WrstBhvr · ‎23-02-2026

Dear EE Community,

I want to make everyone aware of a scam phone number that is currently targeting customers: 01490 590213.

The callers are pretending to be EE agents and are offering “exclusive EE deals” in an attempt to gain personal and account information. Please be aware that this is not a legitimate EE contact number.

If you receive a call from this number:
- Do not share any personal or account information.
- Do not provide passwords, verification codes, or payment details.
- Hang up immediately.
- Report the number to EE and the relevant fraud reporting service.

Please stay vigilant and help spread awareness to protect others from falling victim to this scam.

Cheers 🤗
