Said they were from EE and that as a loyal customer I was being given a 40% discount, she hen asked how much I was paying for my service, I told her to look it up as I did not have access and that the bill had just one up and I didn't know how much I was now paying, she said I was being awkward and not trying to help her, I said you are EE so should have the details, she then hung up.

Call me and tell me my my SIM card needs a update. Then ask me personal information, when they ask me my date of birth. I refused. Then I call me network provider to confirm it is a scam. Be careful.
Claim they are from EE - quoted my phone number to me like this was proof. Told them I'm not with EE and they started phishing for information asking who I was with etc. Told them should know that if they called me.....then they hung up.
Scam - were also able to hack into EE text messaging so as to appear as if from EE, but clearly not. Offered 40% of my bill, no questions asked, for no reason. Needed my email and personal data - be very careful folks
Says they are EE - don't fall for it, data phishing , attempted fraud
It flagged up as scam by my phone.
Said they were from EE
Missed called but the number wouldnt accept call back
I answered the phone and put myself on mute. Got no answer for a few seconds and then the person hung up. Don’t pickup.
Missed call, didn’t leave a message. I suspect it’s a scam as when I called back, the line disconnects.
Picked up = no answer from other end
