Stay Alert: Fraudsters and Scammers Technology

[Bandit]

Getting sick of these bogus scammers claiming to be from EE, it's almost daily now.

I'm getting calls offering iPhone 14 deals from some Asian call centre. I know they're bogus because I phoned EE and reported them, and they said their phone numbers were not from EE.

They don't even know my name so I know they're chancers. On one phone call I went along with them pretending I wanted their latest 'offer' until they asked me for my 16-digit card number, something EE would never ask.

Be aware and be vigilant when answering your phone to these type of fraudsters.

Got one earlier today, Glasgow number. Couldn't be arsed winding them up because F1 qualifying was on but they're quite easy to spot.

Got one earlier today, Glasgow number.

Had one last week, with a Glasgow area number too - 0141 501 0923. Googled the number and definitely scammers.

Genuinely couldn't understand a word the woman was saying. Told her I wasn't interested, hung up, and blocked.
