They rang on the basis they were the retention team from Vodafone . No security checks . They were not able to give me the last 3 digits of my account number or my address post code.
claimed to be from Vodafone even when pressed but clearly at best only calling on behalf of them on commission, at worst a scam call. I explained I only deal with Vodafone directly on such matters.
Tried to leave in June and they called trying to get me to stay. Just arranged to leave again (first fell through) and the day after booking it they called again. Definitely Vodafone but may be pushing retention / sales
Caller said he was vodafone. He wasn't. I checked with vodafone, and they had not called me.
Called by this number three times over two days. They always hung up before I could answer, say after five seconds. After the third I looked it up and it seems it was Vodafone retentions. They called again on the last day before I switched and again hung up before I could answer. I class this behaviour as harassing.
This number called me yesterday, I rarely get phone calls so seemed a bit odd, woman claiming to be from Vodafone offering me an upgrade on my broadband that isn't due for renewal, I was busy & hung up cos I wasn't interested in the offer... The number called me again today just after 1pm, I didn't answer it & blocked the number this time, then Googled the number & see the number appears to be a scammy spammy number...
Received a call from this number didn’t answer did not recognise then looked up SCAMMERS
Saying I am ready for renewal for my broadband, I wasn’t till December. Asking for security to get into my account.
I missed call. See it’s Vodafone. Im leaving tomorrow. I have blocked the number.
woman called out of the blue claiming to be vodafone about my "broadband renewal" (vodafone never cold call so i was suspicious), very snarky tone when i misheard her so obviously i was snarky right back and hung up. ignore them and call vodafone using the number on their site instead
asking confirmation questions. Felt off.
Missed the call but looking at other users reports I believe it's not a scam and it's indeed Vodafone as I switched to another provider on the same day so probably Vodafone tried to call so they can offer me a better deal as they did over email)
Scammers.
They asked me if I was me (using my name). Then said they were from Broadband then hung up.
