Called the number back. They claimed to be Vodafone but after I told them I am actually one of the managers of the telecommunications fraud and scams department, they quickly informed me they were working for someone who works at Vodafone. They are offering cheap tariffs to all payg customers. TOTAL SCAM. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

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.

I have received a call from this number today. I did not answer it. After checking this number on this portal I have blocked it. I wonder why the police cannot go to the location where this spam number is registered to and shut them down? This nuisance has been going on for a while.

We can give you a better deal. Knew my name. Claimed to be Vodafone. "We will give you the same deal for £6.00 if you go by Direct Debit!" Told the lady that I don't do transactions over the phone. I said I'd go into my local store! "Oh you won't get the deal in store!" Well now you are blocked and reported! Scamming shitbags!!!!💩

Obviously sus caller, the ones I usually get apparently originate from Luton so I appreciate the change. They hung up so I don't know what kind of scam they intended to try.
