said they were from EE and my old SIM card was getting blocked and a new one will be arriving tomorrow , he could hardly speak English also sounded like lots of other scammers were barking their lies to other
Called several times repeatedly. Once I finally answer said they was from Three and my sim card would end in 24 hours.
I receive lots of scam calls. I saved this number as I didn't know how to block it so knew it was a scammer on answering. Told me my SIM would be replaced, asked would I be home tomottow am or pm. Asked for my email....I admit I was in the mood for an argument...I declined to give info on the basis they would already know it. Ultimately. I kept informing now the manager I didn't even have an account but he still persisted. I got bored and hung up.
Claimed it was Michael from GiffGaff and that my number would be blocked in 24 hours. Called me SEVEN TIMES.
Said from O2 and that my SIM would stop working in 24 hours due to merger of O2 and virgin. Strange as not on either of those networks. Called was named Michael but had Indian accent
Three/EE Merger. Indian lady calling twice from 2 different numbers already...
01282526768 missed call. Hardly no one has my number. So seemed suspish anyway.
Claimed to be acting on the vodafone /three merger asking me to be available tomorrow am or pm for a necessary sim update to prevent possible problems arising from the merger. similar to another recent call I had from 'sky'. Lady first then passed to male manager Who when he thought had me asked for my email address. Pushed too hard and if genuine should have already known my email address. Scam in my opinion so I rang off at that point.
