The fact that there are more than 5 posts within 2 hours of my getting a call from this number says it all. Claiming to be vodafone and as I am coming to the end of my EE contract I thought i'd play along and much like another comment here the moment I called the gentleman out that after claiming he can see all my Vodafone profile information I asked him to confirm which email address did he have on the system but could not resite it to me and got very agro. Dont bother answering unless you wanna have fun messing with scammers.
