1 yearGot a call from some con artists claiming I needed to check if my software was up to date. Such crooks really grind my gears!2 yearsToday I got a text from number 249, asking me to take part in an EE survey. I’ve never been with EE, so I knew straight away it was a scam. Definitely dodgy!EE2 yearsGot a message on my phone today from a number showing as 259. It was asking how likely I’d be to recommend EE based on my experience. Thing is, I’m not even an EE customer. Had a quick look here and seems like it might be a scam. I’ve sent the suspicious text over to 7726 so they can have a look into it.EE3 years+249 92 325 5515 - anybody know who's phone this is? Been getting calls from it.3 yearsGot a call asking me to join a survey for EE but I’m not even an EE customer.EE3 yearsReally strange getting a message saying it was from EE, especially since I’m already an EE customer and haven’t connected to any new Wi-Fi spots. Seems dodgy to me, probably some kind of scam?EE4 yearsGot a text from 249 claiming to be EE, asking if I'd updated my iPhone software recently and offering a quick survey. It did say you could reply with Stop to opt out. I've had legit messages from EE before, but this one definitely wasn't one of them. I've gone ahead and blocked 249 and deleted the message.EE4 yearsI got a call from this number claiming to be EE, but honestly, it feels dodgy to me like some sort of scam fishing for active lines. EE has never reached out to me from this number before, so I’d just suggest ignoring it and blocking. Better safe than sorry!EE4 yearsSomeone rang me claiming to be from EE and wanted me to give them a rating. I told them zero, and after that they started shouting all sorts of rude swear words at me.EE4 yearsGot a text from 249 that just said “can you help me.” Seemed dodgy so I just deleted it straight away!4 yearsMy phone's actually with Three, but the number 249 shows up as an EE one. Bit confusing really.EEThree4 yearsGot a text from 249 asking me to rate EE, totally dodgy. I just ignored it and blocked the number straight away. Wouldn't trust it if I were you.EE4 yearsI have no idea how this ended up on my phone.6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with EE, asking me to complete a quick survey about their 150 phone service. Definitely seemed like a spam call to me.EE6 yearsJust got a text earlier today, the 12th of Nov, from a number starting with 249. It said I'd supposedly picked an iPhone 12 Pro with a payment plan of £30 down and £78 each month. They told me to press an approve button or something, but I didn't order any phone so I just ignored and deleted it. Seems dodgy to me, so watch out - the sender was only a 249 number, which I reckon is a scam.6 yearsThey asked if I had got any update, a simple yes or no. But honestly, I deleted the message straight away. I just don't trust messages like that.6 yearsJust got a couple of texts from 249 asking me to give feedback and if I'd recommend ee. I usually get messages from 150 since that's ee's number, so these texts seem a bit fishy to me!EE6 yearsI was planning on using EE but honestly, I’m a bit iffy about trusting them.EE7 yearsI keep getting messages from them telling me to tap on a link to claim some sort of prize. It's pretty annoying.7 yearsGot two calls from 01913896336, they said they were from eel!! Then the following day, I got a text from 249 asking me to give eellll a rating. Honestly, I'm not sure if this whole thing is legit or just some sort of scam.7 yearsfunny that it shows ee, but even tho asda uses ee's network, it was asda asking me to give a review, not ee. so how can they really measure the network quality? total dodgy site. plus you sent me the same rating question twice, lets see if anything real comes back, probably rubbish. it was a mobile number, i’ll put it in now, or maybe i’m just making it up lolEEAsda9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be EE, wanted me to give them a rating or something.
