01829 848841 Negative Who called me from this phone number?

Saying from THREE please ignore call and block!! The scam involves a fraudster impersonating a phone network provider and phoning the customer out of the blue with an exciting offer of an exclusive time-limited deal. They pressure the customer to upgrade to the latest handset or grab a huge 40% discount on their airtime plan. A code is sent by text message to the customer’s phone, and the scammer urges them to read it out. If the code – known as an OTAC, which stands for one-time authorisation code – is handed over, the scammer can order a new phone using the customer’s bank details. The device is sent to the customer’s address, but a criminal gang will either intercept delivery, or a fraudster dressed as a courier will visit the address after the delivery, saying the wrong device was delivered and the customer should hand it over and the correct one will be re-sent. Alternatively, the scammer will call the customer again, telling them to post the phone to an unofficial address.
