Caller claimed I was owed a large payment from a PPI refund connected to a mortgage. When I said I never had a mortgage the caller quickly ended the call.

Caller said they were from EE and claimed my SIM card would stop working unless they sent a replacement. The story was clearly designed to trick people into giving personal information.

The caller tried to promote a cheaper landline package and sounded like they were working from a script. The person had an Eastern European accent and kept pushing the offer. It felt very suspicious so best avoided.

Missed call from this number but there was no message left on the answering machine. Calls that behave like this are often linked to spam diallers testing active phone numbers.

My phone automatically blocked this call as spam before it even rang. After checking reports online it seems many people say it is connected to scam calls about telecom or landline deals.

Deceitful, claimed to be from EE and they must have my details as my sim is going to stop working in 48 hours and they need to send me a new one. Can we confirm your the account holder

reported 01285 300 680 as Dangerous
Talked about me being owed £2998 from a PPI payment from a mortgage. I said I'd never had a mortgage and the young chap hung up.

Unsolicited call about loft insulation and government backed energy efficiency schemes. They asked whether the property had insulation installed which sounded like another cold call trying to gather home details.
