Tesco Mobile Scam!

Five minutes ago I had a woman who said she was from Tesco Mobile, offering me a £5.00 a month discount on my mobile phone account. She kept aggressively demanding an email address from me, and I said that if she was from Tesco they would already have my email address. I refused to give it to her, and put the phone down. The scary thing is she had my name, and my 'phone number and already knew how much I was paying per month. Has my account been hacked? She said if I refused to give my email address, I wouldn't get the discount. I thought a genuine Tesco Mobile employee would email me offering me a discount without the bullying tactics. I only had a Tesco Mobile email two days ago confirming my last month's bill.

I have PAYG and it costs me roughly £8 -10 pm. - suits me.

Thank you merlotgran my DH is with Tesco I will warn him about this.

Ba****ds! indeed.

There is an identical scam doing the rounds where "O2" offer you a reduction on your bill. 😒 "You've been chosen" the guy said. Trouble is my bill is only £8 a month so my response was "Huh? Why would I need a discount?" Only found out afterwards it is a scam.
