It is Three broadband support
Pretending to be Three. Feel "three" to insult them or waste their time, just don't give them any personal info.
Claiming to be from 3- never been with them and haven't been in touch. Just block the number.
I was called many times by this number and asked for personal details sustaining they are from three mobile . They seemed to be suspicious and hurried to hang up
They claim to be from Three but the whole conversation is suspicious. They call from this number and provide another number to call them back, but none are in the ones Three lists in their contact site. I have seen this number being reviewed positively, but I suspect that is part of the scammers trying to trick people. Beware!
