0191 429 7590 This number called me today about some offers and also he could see the account that I have with EE and for how long as well, he could access my address and everything, he sent me a code via text message from EE on the same way that I receive notifications from them. Could have been a scam? What can they do with the information that they take from my EE account? I changed my password straight away on the account but now I am getting worried as I think it might have been scam.

Hi @Alex503,
Welcome to the EE Community
The number in your post belongs to Inspired, one of our official sales partners, so the call was not a scam and you don't need to worry about your account info being secure off the back of that.
You can find a list of numbers our partners will call from on our help page.
