This is a trustworthy number. Its Vodafone special offers team. If you Google “Is it Vodafone calling?” it will take you to the Vodafone website and then you can enter the number that called you and it will then tell you if the number is a legitimate Vodafone number.

Phoned them back from my alternative number (Rogers, a Canadian provider) but they did not catch on, still claimed to be Vodafone. Rotherham number used belongs to AQL Wholesale, a Leeds based company who sells numbers to all and sundry including scammers!!!!!

Called and hung up as I answered. The reason this happens is its a computerized automatic dialing system designed to find out who's eager enough to return calls, then there half way there as they already have your interest. Anyways back to the caller, I rang back and a woman answers saying it was Vodafone and, I politely said NOT INTERESTED and Hung up. All crime is wrong but these people have no souls, they could be taking a terminally ill persons last holiday Money or a pensioners life savings. I implore everyone else to leave comments and help others stay safe. Be good to each other and god bless.

Genuine sounding lady called claiming to be vodafone offering a better deal to save money on payg. Sent a text with a code to verify they were actually vodafone on the same number vodafone uses to confirm payg payments. Asked for details before asking for bank details. Said I didn't have those so she gave me her name and set up a call back time. Sent another text saying who I had been talking with and when we agreed they'd call back and emailed saying my account had been changed. This is a scam although it seems legit. Block this number.

Called the number back.

From the vodafone website: https://www.vodafone.co.uk/isvodafonecalling/ "Check a phone number. We’ll let you know if it’s really us, and the reason we called. 01709242673 This is a Vodafone number. We called you about Special offers." So, this is genuine vodafone number belong to vodafone but still the number might be spoofed and used by some fraudsters to look like they make a call from vodafone to offer a phone plan (to get someones bank card details).

"23 Sep 2021 They called me knew my full name. Said they from vodaphone want to offer me a better deal". If they knew your real name and if you are using vodafone network or you moved your phone number from vodafone to other telecom provider then it might be someone who is working in the vodafone and have access to the customers database. Might be a malicious insider employee or group of them (if call centre is based abroad they have access to databases of customers and it alsa might be leaked and exploited by scammers). They can use that personal info to target customers with a various scam schemes after work. Never give any of your bank details or other personal info by phone to anyone. Phone contracts should be done only in store with a written confirmation or from telecom genuine website by logging into account. Also some personal info might be leaked by installing malicious apps onto mobile phone when application permission is giving access to a personal data on the phone itself.
