Reports on phone number 08000798586
6 monthsThis number showed up a few times on my phone, and apparently it's linked to some sort of scam. Just wanted to double check before I go ahead and block it for good. Looks like that’s exactly what I’ll do. Cheers!1 yearI just got a call from a robotic voice about withdrawing funds from Coinbase or something like that. Felt kinda sketchy if you ask me.Coinbase2 yearsTotal scam, don’t trust it.2 yearsJust got an automated call about a job I supposedly applied for, telling me to add a number on WhatsApp so I wouldn’t miss any ‘updates’ about it. The voice was this robotic female tone, all chopped up and weird, defo sounded like AI. Problem is, I haven’t applied to any jobs recently, so yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s a scam!WhatsApp2 yearsI usually don’t pick up numbers I don’t recognise, so this one got sent straight to my answering machine. I’ve set it up so it plays a message saying I won’t take unknown calls. So far, it’s done the trick - nobody’s left a voicemail yet.2 yearsToday this number rang me up and I picked it up, but all I got was a short, maybe recorded, message about getting in touch with a lady on WhatsApp about something to do with HR and help with a ‘job application’... Honestly, it was completely confusing and made no sense at all.WhatsApp2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from HR, and then they asked to connect on WhatsApp. Feels like a total scam to me.WhatsApp2 yearsGot a warning about a phone scam. I just blocked the number and declined the call.2 yearsTotal scam, dodgy number for sure.2 yearsJust hang up and block the number, best not to engage at all.2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to have job offers and asked me to message them on WhatsApp. Bit dodgy, feels like a total scam to me. The number was close to 777 or something like that. Wouldn't trust it.WhatsApp2 yearsTotal bunch of sharks preying on folks.2 yearsJust a heads up, this is definitely a scam.2 yearsGot a call from a woman claiming to be from HR about some "job opportunity". She asked me to save the number in my contacts. Definitely a scam, I've blocked the number now.HR2 yearsJust like a lot of people here, I got a brief recorded message that started off weirdly, like it cut off the first couple of words. They mentioned something about human resources and told me to check WhatsApp. Pretty sure it's one of those scams.WhatsApp2 yearsSomeone rang saying they were from EE, but I’m not a customer with them. They wouldn’t say who they were trying to reach. I thought a proper rep would say something like, ‘Is this (my name)? I’m (their name) from EE, just calling about (reason).’ Instead, they just went ‘I’m from EE’ and slammed the phone down when I pointed out how they should’ve introduced themselves.EE2 yearsGot a dodgy call from someone claiming to be HR who asked me to add them on WhatsApp. Just ended up blocking the number straight away.WhatsApp2 yearsGot a phone call from someone saying they were recruiting and wanted me to add them on WhatsApp. At first I figured it was legit, but after looking into it a bit more, it looks like a total scam. Such a dodgy way to try and get people.WhatsApp2 yearsThis wasn’t EE at all, they just claim to be and then send you a message asking for some code they supposedly sent you. Whatever you do, don’t share that code with them. The minute I didn’t give it, they hung up straight away. Real EE calls are more official and they definitely know who they’re ringing. Plus, they wouldn’t ring from a random 020 number like the scammers do, sometimes even from 021. Whenever I’m certain it’s a scam, I have a bit of fun messing with them. I reckon they’re after that code to hack into your account or something like that.EE2 yearsGot a suspicious message from this number with a 4-digit code, telling me to ring if I’m not checking on my account. What’s weird is it came through at 8.35pm on a Sunday, which is way past their supposed customer service hours. Definitely don’t trust anyone saying this number is legit - it’s most likely just scammers trying their luck.2 yearsI got a text with some sort of access code and then got a call from a bloke with a pretty thick Asian accent saying he was from EE. He started asking if I wanted to slash my bill by 40%. I played along for a bit before asking him where his call centre was located. To my surprise, he replied, "I’m not sure, but I can check for you!" I then warned him to pay attention because the whole chat was being recorded using voice recognition technology, and that UK and US authorities were gathering info for upcoming mass arrests and deportations. Guess what? He just hung up!EEUKUS2 yearsGot a text from a number later found out to be scammers trying to pull a fast one. Quite annoying really, they kept pestering and obviously not someone you wanna trust. Watch out for these sorts of messages!2 yearsFraudsters! I had a very similar run-in to the rest of you. I managed to keep the call going for about 15 minutes just pretending to be an absent-minded old bloke (pretty easy to pull off, honestly).2 yearsSo I got a call from 07579 832322 with someone saying they were from EE and offering me a 40% discount. After that, I got a text with a PIN and a number to ring EE customer service if I needed help. They promised to email me too, but I never got anything. When they asked for my email and I gave it, the guy got really annoyed and told me I was being disrespectful just because of the address I gave. Then he called me rude and a complete idiot before telling me to get lost. Proper rude bloke!EE2 yearsGot a call claiming to be from EE, but it was a total scam. They asked for a code they said they’d text me, and when I wouldn’t give it to them, they started getting really rude. Definitely trying to hack your phone, so watch out!EE2 yearsI got a call from them and then they immediately sent a text, which made me think it was legit because it looked like an EE ad number. Luckily, right before I got too involved, I figured out it was dodgy, ended the call, and switched my phone off.EE2 yearsBe careful if you get a call from this 0800 number. Even though it looks like EE's official line, scammers are apparently pretending to be them. I got a legit text about an eSIM I never ordered. Then, this number rang me asking if I’d done it. When I said no, they messaged me asking for a 6-digit verification code. Next thing I knew, my SIM was locked, my MyEE app was hacked, and they even got into my email. Sorting out my EE account after that was a total nightmare.EE2 yearsOluyemi WonderWonder2 yearsThe calls come through with EE numbers, but they’re definitely covering up their real ones.3 yearsThis is EE customer care! Completely legit.EE3 yearsgot a call from someone saying they were from the EE team in Grantham, they gave me this number to ring if i was suspicious, i’m pretty sure it wasnt really EE thoughEEGrantham3 yearsI got a call saying I could get 40% off my phone bill, but they kept asking for my email and how much I was paying each month, which I wouldn’t share. I told them they already have that info and if they want to give a discount, just do it. The guy said he’d send a text to prove it was from EE, and he did, but I wasn’t fooled - it sounded like a scam to me. He was really rude and kept pushing me to listen. In the end, he just hung up on me.3 yearsThis number is totally a scam, dont share any of your bank info with them!!3 yearsThis is the number for EE customer support and its a legit number, so no need to be negative. I actually work for EE myself. Have a great day!EE3 yearsGot a spam call, didn’t even use EE services.EE3 yearsBeware of sim swapping scams.. best to avoid them!3 yearsAvoid this number at all costs. They were pretending to be from EE and totally threw me off guard. They somehow managed to move my sim to a new eSim, got full access to my phone number, and even reset my email password. My accounts got hacked and cash was taken from my stock apps. Total con, be careful out there.EE3 years0800 079 8586 gave me a ring and asked for a pin that EE sent to my mobile... When I refused they called me a fat slag and just ended the call!!EE3 yearstotal scam, dont answer!3 yearsFraud, acting like they're from EE to sneak into your account and do a sim swap (which means they’d basically steal your phone number too).EE3 yearsReally surprising to hear that from EE, to be honest.EE3 yearsThey rang me up tryin to fire me.3 yearsThis caller is trying to scam you by accessing your EE account, dont share any details with them and make sure you update your EE password right away.EE3 yearsThis is a total scam, best to avoid it completely. They ask you to punch in a code on your phone so they can get control over it.3 yearsDoes anyone know the phone number for EE customer service? I’ve been trying to get in touch but can’t seem to find it anywhere. Thanks!EE3 yearsI checked this number and it’s definitely EE, safe to pick up. I confirmed with them, it’s a legit EE/BT company.EEBT4 yearsGot a text saying bailiffs would be coming for an unpaid EE bill, but my account is totally paid up. Called EE using the number on their website after logging in and they confirmed I don’t owe a penny. Definitely a scam. Don’t send any money before checking with EE via your online account or official contact options!EE4 yearsGot an email from 0800 079 8586 - it’s definitely a scam!!5 yearsGot a letter from EE today saying I owe £50 but they've put the wrong account number on it. Don’t try calling 360 from your phone, it’s not a legit EE number. Also, avoid calling the number on the paper bill - 0800 079 8586. These are proper scammers. Just a heads up to everyone so you don’t get caught out!EE5 yearsI rang them thinking it was a free number for EE, but she started asking for my mum’s first and sixth letter of her name, which doesn’t even have six letters. I told her for the fifth letter, then she said no, she meant the fourth and fifth. I just wanted to check a landline so she then asked for the second and third letters of my mum’s maiden name. I made them up and now they call me back from 07973100194. Total scammers, don’t answer!5 years0800 079 8586 kept saying my complaint was closed. Got three texts supposedly from EE but I never put in any complaint. This is the second time they've messaged me like this - feels like harrassment to me.5 yearsGot an email saying my payment with EE failed, but ive never signed up with them or anything. Pretty obvious scam really.EE5 yearsReally risky call.5 yearsA woman was sitting on a bench with some tents behind her, then she FaceTimed me. After that, she sent me a message asking where I got her number from, like she wanted to know my address or something.5 yearsTOTALLY A FRAUD EMAIL!ALERT5 yearsJust like a few others here, this number is linked to a bogus email. I've never been an EE customer either.EE5 yearsGot an email saying my EE bill hadn't been paid. Thing is, I've got my phone contract with O2, so it was clear as day that email was a scam. Still, the phone number mentioned in it was real.EE5 yearsGot an email from this number saying my payment didn’t go through and asking for bank info, but I’ve never been with EE so it’s a scam for sure. Make sure to double check if you get a call from them.EE5 yearsGot a call telling me to click a link to update my EE billing details, but I don't even have an account with EE. Seems fishy to me.5 yearsSeems like one of those EE phishing scams. Best to stay clear.EE. Steer5 yearsThis number showed up in a dodgy email pretending to be from EE. I haven’t been with EE for more than ten years, so this is definitely a phishing attempt. Watch out with this one!EE5 yearsGot an email pretending to be from EE saying my latest payment didnt go thru n i needed to update some details or my service would be cut off. It opened with just “Hi” plus my email, no account number or anything legit, so it looked very dodgy right away. If you use EE, dont click any links in emails like this! If u worried, just ring ur provider yourself. I’m with Virgin so I know this one’s a scam. Sharing this so others dont fall for it.EEVirgin5 yearsI got an email with this number on it, claiming to be from EE about an issue with my latest phone bill payment. The email address looked really dodgy though, nothing like their usual one. I've never had an EE account, so I'm pretty sure it's a scam.EE5 yearsJust got a dodgy email claiming to be from EE saying my last payment didn't go through and I needed to update my bank details or my account would be closed. Thing is, I've never had any EE account. I don't use EE for my phone. The number in the email is supposed to sort out your account details or something.EE6 yearsTotal scam. They rang me from 150 and I was told just to ignore it.6 yearsDefinitely a scam, no doubt about it.6 yearsI keep getting emails saying my bill is ready but I’m not even an EE customer! Seems like a dodgy scam with a payment link, they even mention my real phone number to make it look legit?EE6 yearsI got a voicemail around half past eleven in the morning saying there'd been a couple of odd transactions on my bank card, one for £1400 and another for £600. They wanted me to ring back and confirm the details. Just a heads up, don’t fall for this sort of thing - banks don’t do calls like that. I’m planning to report this to the cops as it smells like a scam.8 yearsCan anyone tell me the number for EE customer support? Cheers!EE8 yearsGot this letter saying EE had a request to change my phone line and it included the number above. Definitely looks like a scam, but I’m not really sure what they hope to gain from it!EE9 yearsthis number is actually the real EE customer service lineEE10 yearsThis is the number for EE’s support, I’m sure of it because my EE internet stopped working and I asked them to ring me first before they popped over to sort the issue. So no need to freak out, folks, it’s all good.EE10 yearsGot a letter claiming to be from EE with their logo, saying someone had requested to change my phone line to EE service on 23/12/2016. The letter only arrived on 02/01/2017 and said the switch would happen on 12/01/2017. I rang the number on the letter, it played an EE business support recording but when I tried to choose an option the call just dropped. Watch out, this number is a scam targeting vulnerable people. They’re fraudsters and definitely not legit.EE10 yearsI got this number from a letter I received on 11.12.16, supposedly from EE, saying they were taking over my phone line. The letter said to call that number if I hadn’t actually asked for this. When I dialled, it went through to EE’s automated service with loads of options, but none were for what I needed. So I went into the EE shop nearby and they gave me a different customer service number to call instead. Then I also received a letter from BT claiming someone had put in a request to take over my landline. I phoned them up and told them absolutely not to go ahead with it. Today, on 16.12.16, I got another letter from EE dated 13.12.16, basically repeating the same thing but with an earlier date for the takeover. I called the new number, 08454125000, and spoke with a really kind lady who was just as confused as me about some stranger trying to set up broadband here. She promised to contact the person who made the request to double-check the address was correct.EEBT10 yearsIs this the right number for EE broadband support?EE10 yearsGot a letter saying my phone line is gonna be switched over to EE because I supposedly asked for it. It said if they don’t get a reply from me within 8 days, they’ll just go ahead with it. The thing is, I never asked for this at all.EE10 yearsI got calls from this number linked to my EE broadband account. Turns out it’s their customer support line.EE10 yearsI got a letter that looked like a phishing scam, saying someone had put in a request to switch my phone line over to EE starting on the 26th June 2016. The letter was addressed to "The Occupier." It mentioned that if I didn’t respond within 8 days of the date on the letter, they'd go ahead and set up the EE service. Thing is, the letter was dated 14 June 2016 but only arrived on the 22nd June - exactly the 8th day! I’ve never heard of EE before, let alone asked for any changes. Definitely going to report this to Action Fraud and the police.EEThe OccupierAction Fraud Police11 yearsI got this number from an EE store after my home phone stopped working, so I gave it a call.EE11 yearsGot a letter out of the blue from EE saying they're gonna swap my phone. Didn't bother with it since I reckon it’s dodgy and probably a scam.EE11 yearsThis number has popped up twice on my phone with missed calls. I don’t know who’s behind it and there’s no voicemail left either. Feels like a spam call to me, definitely should be flagged.11 yearsI got a random letter at my house from EE saying they’d had a request to switch my phone line to their service. It mentioned the change would happen in 8 days if I didn’t get in touch to stop it. Thing is, no one here ever asked for that.EE11 yearsThey’ve been calling nonstop for a few days now. Anyone know who this is?11 yearsThey keep ringing my missus, but no one's speaking when she answers. Just silent calls all the time.11 yearsCan anyone tell me if this number is dodgy or not? Cheers!11 yearsGot a call saying I’d ordered something, but I never did. Same old story.12 yearsGot a text from EE saying I'd asked to cancel my service, which I definitely didn't. Rang EE to sort it out, but they had no clue why I got the message. Ended up wasting about 20 minutes on the phone. Probably would've been better off just ignoring it.EE12 yearsJust got a text pretending to be from EE Broadband, saying they got a message from me about switching providers. Problem is, I’ve never even had EE broadband in the first place. Sounds like a sneaky way to get me to fall for their marketing stuff.EE Broadband12 yearsI got three calls from this number all before lunch and every time it just went to voicemail. Anyone know who these are?12 yearsThis number has rung me a couple of times today and I just haven’t answered.
