It is a scam. No matter who is calling, no legitimate service will ever ask you to give them your password or ask to change the password...

Have just contacted Three and they’ve informed me it is a legit person calling about my upgrade. Have put in a complaint about their security and best practices. Will avoid in future

An Inian sounding named guy called me today, and claimed to be calling from three. Asked me for my account password and my secret emorable word. This is a big no no from a cold caller. The Indian guy even texted me , that appeared to have come from three. This practice by three is disgusting and breaks all security protocols. This guy could then divige my credentials to someone else and hack my account. It happened before, and I caught fraud just in time.
