Very slick Scam Call from people posing as EE mobile s

[Martin1965]

Just received a call on the number: 07379 828719 (not 150)  They explained EE has been loosing too many customers and will now offer me 50% to keep me loyal

They even sent me a verification text - see attached screen shot

They explained as a loyal customer I will get 50% off my bill for the next year

All I had to do was give my name and DOB

I of course would not do that and asked where they are based - they said 1 Braham

I called 150 and asked if there are any such offers and the answer was 'No'

Please beware of this, it's very slick

simpy way to avoid this dont answer any calls rhat arent from number you have stored

if they asked for number to sms you a code you are now on the list for every scam they have going now

change the number if the rang you on a mobile

Hi  @Martin1965 

Welcome to the BT Community

You can check if a call is genuine and from EE on their How Do We Contact You|EE page. 
Or if the call was from an EE Direct Partner at Phone numbers EE partners will call from. 

If you're concerned about unsolicited contact from other companies, you can visit  How to avoid and prevent scams including phishing, vishing and smishing for hints on how to block and prevent these.

You can also report the call to be investigated at Report a scam or nuisance call
