Calling me everyday saying they’re from Tesco mobile about, wanting to talk about my SIM card
Claiming to be from some phone company and telling me how my sim card should be replaced. Claimed she had all my details, but when i asked for my name she avoided my question.
Similar call received from similar woman. Claiming to be from O2 and telling me they want to deactivate my SIM card and post me another one. When I tried to verify the information she hung up.
They claimed to be from EE, and seemed to want to sign me up to a phone contract which was 'exactly the same' as the one I am on at the moment (but ... better, somehow). Lady on the phone had a thick Indian accent, was not very understandable and she hung up when I asked her to verify my name/address.
