    1. Paul reported number ‎012037800 as Vodafone

      I asked a question about data speed while roaming on vodafone.ie's website. I did this through their chat bot. I got my answer and moved on. Shortly after I got a call from this number. It was an Indian guy claiming to be from vodafone. He knew I had asked about data speed when roaming. I said, "ok I got my answer no problem. If I have any issues I'll contact again." He said sounds good no problem then asked when I last topped up and what my balance was. This was weird so I said, "... can't you see that?" He said yeah but I just want to confirm. He couldn't do anything with this information so I told him it was a few days ago so my balance is 0. I said I don't need any more help and he then asked for my email address. I hung up immediately as this smelled fishy. After I hung up, I had a SMS from vodafone (same number that texts me about my regular top-up) saying I need to top up. And another that was clearly from this man, saying we tried to call you, if you need us call again. There were spelling mistakes in this text. So, my best guess is there are some hacker/scammers hacked into vodafone's chatbot, which they are then using to do a social engineering hack on customers. They're so in vodafone's systems they can text from them too. Lastly, clearly he was conditioning me to answer more and more questions, eventually wanting me to give him payment details which would have paired nicely with the text from the actual vodafone number.
