  • 'EE' Phishing Scam Letter

    Hello Everyone,

    I received a letter allegedly from 'EE' a few days ago stating I requested a replacement of the phone line at my property. I made no such request and the letter was addressed just to the 'occupier'.

    Has anyone had a similar experience ?

    A copy of this letter has been sent to the Serious Fraud Office after I contacted them.

    Here is the content of the letter. I tried uploading it without success.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Hello,

    We recently received a request to replace the phone line at this address with our phone service, starting on [24/07/2014].

    If you didn't make the request, and are not moving house on or before
    [24/07/2014]. then please give us a call on 0289 0446 574*.

    If we don't hear from you within 8 days from the date stated on the letter, we'll start setting up the phone service.

    Best regards,

    Customer Support.

    The letter carried 'EE' logos, but the envelope in was bereft of a company I.D.

    The 0289 number appears to be based in Northern Ireland. It came with another number, prefix 0844, which was genuine.

    Any comments are welcome.


    Stephen.
