7Im not even a British citizen, I don't even live in Britain. I only live in Lithuania Some random British person decided to text me some random digits (They sent just 15139720291) If you're British, could you give me more info of this suspicious SMS number?
Said they were from Vodafone and were going to lower my bill and sending me a Apple Watch for being a good customer. Sent me codes through Vodafone text number. Emailed me directly from a good looking Vodafone email. Had access to ALL my personal details from name/address/DOB/emails/phone numbers/previous addresses/Bank Account details etc with no prompting A very very dangerous scam.
Someone called “HENRY PETER” called, claiming to be phoning from Vodafone. He was phoning to offer me a discount to my bill. He was able to text me from Vodafone’s usual phone number and send me an email from a legitimate Vodafone email, plus he had all my personal details. Stupidly, I thought it was legit because he was able to access sensitive data and Vodafone’s accounts. I only became skeptical when he asked for my bank details to apply the discount. This is where I feigned the stupidness and said I can’t remember where my card is. He sounded very peeved when I told him and became quite pushy and started asking me if I have a picture of my card, or if I could use my banking app, then insisted he call me back later once I find my card. Yeah, alright, sure mate! Phoned Vodafone on 191 immediately after and a member of the team I spoke to there said Vodafone never call to offer discounts (quite odd as I have actually had Vodafone legitimately call in the past with genuine discounts + promotions), and also that there was no note on my account that anyone from Vodafone had been in touch with me today, so I should assume it was a scam and to block the number and not engage with it. They called off the number 0131 278 0277, but gave me a call back number of 0131 618 9892.
Claimed to be from Vodafone offering to reduce my bill by 40% and I only had 2 days to to do it. They wanted my details but when I gave them details that were not true they didn't question it. Then they were going to offer me an apple smart watch for free in the post as a thankyou. Finally they asked for my bank details to change my contract for a new one at 40% off. I told them to call back and then checked with Vodafone and three who confirmed it was a scam
I received a call from a London number: he said he was from Vodafone (but with a very strong asian accent - difficult to understand) and offered to lower my monthly bills. I didn't believe him and asked for a number I could call back; he gave me this number and I checked online only to get confirmation it was a scammer! BEWARE: somehow he managed to get me a text message that appeared to be from Vodafone, so I don't know whether they have found a way to make it look legit or they got into my My Vodafone account (I'll change my password to be sure).
Tried to sell a three sim contract
Appears to be a scam caller with a foreign accent saying they are from O2 offering a new phone and contract, lots of noise on the line, when I asked who I should ask for when I contact O2 he simply said yes just ring this no. so beware!
