02034042475

Just got calls from different numbers like 02037467921 and 07733924012, but they’re still using the same email. They say it’s some sort of upgrade and then try to get you to pay a security deposit! Total scam.

Got a call trying to trick me into giving my bank info for some kind of holding deposit. The "deal" they were pushing was rubbish too - supposedly a PRO MAX 256 for 25 pm, yeah right! Total scammers. Had to cut them off quick. Avoid!

Some bloke rang up pretending to be from Carphone Warehouse. Sounded a bit dodgy to me, so I looked the number up here. Glad I did - definitely a scammer trying it on!

Got calls from the very same scam numbers, +447734075504 and +442038138607. It’s like they keep switching between them but it’s clearly a scam. Stay alert!

I got a call from someone claiming to be with 3, saying they'd sell me a Samsung S21 Ultra for just £20 a month. They asked for loads of my personal details, which felt off to me.

Just got caught up in a similar mess. Someone rang me claiming they were from Carphone Warehouse. Next day they sent a phone and a provider that I'd never ordered, then asked me to return it. When I tried sorting the return, they said there was a problem with the courier. I insisted they send a proper return label as I wasn’t paying for their mess. The label they gave me was a load of rubbish, the post office said it didn’t exist. So I got in touch with Carphone Warehouse directly and they told me it wasn’t them at all and passed it to their fraud team. I hadn’t opened the parcel yet but took a look and found an O2 SIM inside. Rang O2 and explained everything. It turns out a contract was set up in my name which O2 have since blocked. O2 helped me arrange the parcel return and I reported the whole thing as fraud. The address they wanted me to send the parcel to was a private house in Dagenham. When they called to check if I’d sent it back, I told them I’d reported them to O2, my bank and Carphone Warehouse for fraud. They tried to tell me they were from Curry’s and it was all legit. I told them O2 would handle the return and cancel the contract and that I wasn’t paying for their scam before hanging up. The scam seems to be that you get stuck paying for a two-year contract while they sell the phone on. Be cautious and always check the sender’s email carefully - mine was [email protected], which is obviously fake.

I got a call from someone claiming to be EE, but I asked them to prove it since my info should pop up if they really were from my provider. They said they’d email me something to verify, sent it from '[email protected]' but when I looked it up, nothing credible showed up. The contract details in the email were completely off. When I called them out on it, they just said it didn’t matter and asked straight away for my bank details, saying they needed it to proceed and that all the info would come after. Told them that’s not how it works and they got really annoyed, practically shouting at me for my bank details. They also asked weird questions like how long I’ve worked at my job, lived in my house, and had my bank account. I knew something was fishy. Ended the call, ignored all the follow-ups, and promptly cancelled my card!

I got a call from someone claiming to be Three, offering p50 for £25 a month. I honestly thought it was legit since Three often uses call centres in India, but turns out I got scammed for £150. These fraudsters are pretty clever, so watch out, they’re not real at all!

They're just after your personal details, trying to get you to spill stuff about yourself.

I also shared mine, yeah.

I ended up selling my iPad Pro to some scammers, and honestly, I’m fuming about how it all went down on the 11th of April.

Hey, I got the same thing sent to my iPhone 12 and 13, and I ended up sending it back to 137 Central Park Road. If that’s the same place they used to try and scam you, maybe they live or run their scheme from there. You could check when the place was last sold or rented online, then track down the landlord’s details. Give them a ring, and maybe say something like, “My nan’s down that road and struggles to get about, I’m trying to get in touch with whoever lives there,” or mention you’re interested in buying or renting the property. With the homeowner’s contact, you might want to get in touch directly or even visit the spot, call the number yourself, and hear if the phone rings inside when they answer outside.

Someone pretending to be from Three and sending bogus emails. The address looks fishy: [email protected]. Beware!

I got three calls from a woman with a really thick accent and bad English, saying she was from EE’s sales team. She kept pushing me to switch my SIM-only plan to some £6 a month deal with unlimited data on a new 12-month contract. It sounded off straight away since I’m pretty sure EE doesn’t do 12-month contracts. So, I rang up EE’s actual sales team to double-check and sure enough, that deal isn’t real. She was mostly after my personal info. She also claimed she was calling from Curry’s with some discounted EE contract offers. Don’t trust this, it’s definitely a scam.

It’s definitely a scam, best just to block them. Don’t hand over any info without checking with at least three different sources first. I got a call from 333 and it was dodgy.

They’re trying to scam you! I got calls from 02034042475 and 07446854177 - both the same dodgy people. Whatever you do, don’t share any info with them!!

They started ringing yesterday, I picked up and told them straight up I wasn’t keen on the deal people have been talking about here. Since then I’ve had at least 14 missed calls from all sorts of mobiles, plus a couple from this London number as well. It’s driving me mad.

Today I got a call from a lady named Sheetal trying to sell me the same deal like everyone else mentioned here. She was offering an iPhone 13 Pro Max for £27 but quickly dropped it to £20 when I told her that’s all I could pay, and I was thinking of getting three! She was more than ready to proceed straight away but I’m so relieved I didn’t give her any of my info and just said I’d talk it over with my family and call back tomorrow. After looking up the number online, I found all this info warning about scams. Honestly, thank goodness I held back from handing over my details! Seriously, folks, watch out for these dodgy calls and never share your card details with someone on the phone like that! 😠😳

Got a call from someone claiming to be from Three mobile. They wanted me to pay a £30 refund for a direct debit setup, which seemed way off. Plus, the prices they mentioned for the new phones were way too low to be true. Definitely a scam.

Got a ring from a bloke saying he was calling on behalf of 3, trying to sell me a deal for £9. I was a bit iffy about it at first, so I looked up the number here and sure enough, it’s spam. The number was 07838139025 if that helps anyone.

A company rang me up saying they could sort me a deal for £9 a month and I’d keep my old number. They then took £30 straight from my bank. I got sent an iPhone 12 but with a different SIM card than what I asked for. I phoned them up, explained they’d sent the wrong phone and was told to send it back. They promised to send me just the SIM and some earbuds instead, but I never got anything. To top it off, today there were charges from a supermarket in Karachi made on my card. Honestly, steer well clear of these lot!

BEWARE OF THIS NUMBER! I got tricked into sharing my bank info for two accounts I hold, and my mum’s account got caught up in it too. They rang me up claiming they had 3 iPhone Pro Max upgrades along with 2 Apple Watch Series 6s as part of a deal. They pretended to be from Three - which is who I have my contract with - so I fell for it. They also used the numbers 07988 635547 and 07985 193318 as well as 020 3404 2475, so watch out for those. Once we figured out it was a con, we moved all our cash and shut down the accounts. But guess what? They had the nerve to ring me back acting like nothing was wrong. I told them to piss off, saying “You’ve scammed me!” and they just hung up because they knew I wasn’t fooled anymore. Then they tried calling my mum, but she wasn’t having any of it either - she gave them the same cold shoulder. Do NOT trust any of those numbers!

They asked for absolutely everything - my full name, address, phone number, DOB, email, sort code, bank details, card number, expiry and even the security code. They acted like they were from Three but it’s a complete scam! Don’t pick up and definitely never share any info with them!!!

This number 020 3404 5820 has just rung me up again, so watch out! When I told the bloke on the other side that he’s trying to scam me and to stop calling, he actually started yelling at me over the phone. Proper cheeky!

Got a call from someone claiming to be from Three Mobile, said they wanted to upgrade my contract. They were pushing an iPhone 12 Max deal for £27 a month. They mentioned something about setting up contracts but sometimes sending the wrong phone. Also asked me to pay £30 upfront on my card because the phone supposedly would be delivered by courier the very next day. Yeah, right! Felt like a total scam to me!

They claimed to be from Three and tried selling a Samsung S21 Ultra for just £18. When I said it sounded too good to be true, they just hung up on me. After that, my email got flooded with loads of subscription offers. Best to just ignore and not pick up.

Got a call from someone saying they were from Three and offered me a Huawei P30 Pro. In the end, they sent me an iPhone 12 on the O2 network instead. When I got in touch they said it was a mistake, but being gullible I sent the phone back anyway. Later, I checked my app and found out that two O2 accounts had been created under my name.
