Scam calls

Just to make people aware I had a call from a London number claiming to be ee saying 4g was being switched off and they were sending a new sim that was 5g for free. And wanting my authentication code from ee that was sent to me. I haven't given any info out but just wanted to make people aware. I've also reset password to this account as well.

@Darrenkeen4891 : You sure you didn't mishear '3G' for '4G'? It's 3G that's been switched off.

What no. called you?
