03300570660

I never pick up calls from numbers I don’t know, cause it’s nearly always some kind of scam. When I want info, I just look it up on my own rather than trusting someone on the phone. Cheers for sharing your thoughts, it’s good to hear others think the same, makes me feel like I’m doing the right thing.

Just looked up 03300570660 on Google and it came up as a scam number. Not really sure what my next step should be tho.

I know right, the same thing happened to me. I ended up cancelling my card straight away.

I’ve already handed over all my info, what’s the next step I should take?

Before leaving Egypt, I actually worked at this tiny office equipped with some computers. I thought it was connected to Vodafone when I applied, but during training, I quickly realised everything they told us was false. There’s no UK branch at all, and the owner, Ahmed Abdelatif, is you know, a right disgrace - all about girls and cash. Then there’s the manager, totally clueless and useless, so weak that they nicknamed him the "repairman." They're running scams on people in the UK, taking personal info and saving it to reuse over and over. Orders aren’t even processed from the UK like they claim; they handle everything from Egypt instead. They told me to use a fake name and convince customers I was based in London without access to their data - big fat lie. The company also goes by fake names like Mobiles Zone and Survey Zone, but their real title is Media Pulse UK. They’re dodgy here too, cheating job applicants in Egypt, treating staff terribly, sometimes not even paying wages, no contracts, no insurance, and evading taxes. The owner favours some employees with pay depending on how close they are to him - absolute madness. As soon as I found all this out, I left immediately. It’s nowhere near a proper place to work.

Beware of this number, it's definitely a scam. They rang me pretending to be from Vodafone, speaking with a very strong Arabic accent, struggling even with saying ''Vodafone'' right. They claimed they were based in London and tried pushing a Vodafone mobile contract on me. I felt uneasy straight away and asked them for their phone number and address before ending the call. Luckily, my mate was nearby when I explained what had happened, and it turns out it’s a known scam. He got a similar call a few months back from some unknown number offering a Vodafone contract too. They pressured him for all his personal info, including bank details and the 3-digit security code on his card. Nothing arrived at first, so he just assumed it was to do with his credit score. Then out of nowhere, Vodafone sent the phone he supposedly ordered, no confirmation or anything! He later listened to the recorded call with this company, and they admitted they would do credit checks every three months - keeping hold of his data even though they promised to erase it! This was messing up his credit rating badly. The address they gave me turned out to be fake as well - 1 Olympic Way in Wembley. I went to check and there’s no “Mobiles Zone” or anything like that there. A friend who works at Vodafone confirmed he hadn’t heard of this firm and explained Vodafone never ask for your 3-digit card code or send contracts without sending a code to your phone first. Also, the number on the recording (03300884769) wasn’t the same as the one given to me (03300570660), so they must be switching numbers often. Clearly, these scammers use fake identities and phone numbers from overseas. Stay alert and don’t fall for it!

I was told I'd get my first bill in a month, but they went and charged me just a week later! When I rang them up to sort it out, they just told me to get in touch with Vodafone. Guess what? Vodafone said they had no idea about any of it! Proper frustrating.
