so just got back home today to find my dad on the phone to t-mobile.
now this may seem normal but just listen.
earlier today someone 'claiming' to be from t-mobile rang him of a mobile number and said that there was no coverage for his contract for 2 days and he would be reimbursed the £20 that he pays each month, after these 2 days and that it was going up by 40p because of VAT. But the rather strange thing is that both me and my sister are on the same contract (sim only contract) and it is a 30day rolling fixed contract
and both of us can get coverage and have not had this call. (all of this of a mobile number, that wasn't even covered up)
now whilst on the phone to T-mobile he had to give are postcode, and apparently in their database it says that we have just moved into this house/moving out.
except the thing is my mum/dad have been in this house for 20 years. and it doesn't stop there, my dad had to give the man over at T-mobile the details of his contract and according to them his contract has only just started today coincidently the phone call was received today around about the time the contract had started 
can you see where this is going? now this gets interesting, this 'new' contract is for them sum of £35, and this is a phone contract not sim only, and guess what phone has a contract like that? thats right, you guessed it an iphone.
now this is where what i have previously mentioned all makes sense, new house? new phone and contract? contract that can go OVER limit by about god knows what? so what i am assuming is that somehow they have been able to change my dads contract and address that T-mobile have us as and get that phone sent to that house, where they will pick it up and use it to go over the contract by very large amounts of money
now i was once talking to someone that works my granddad about people being scammed and he mentioned something that sounds exactly like this, he said that they get an iphone ordered from whomever sell the iphone on except keep the sim, and then they use all the sims to extract £****'s from you.
now to be on they safe side my dad has canceled all of his cards, everything!
but what baffles me is, how on earth could they do all of this out of a simple phone call? and they have the address the phone was being sent to, so why can't they do anything about it? now my google fu is week so i couldn't find anything on this but i know that it happens a lot(i would presume)
please beware of this as all you have to do is answer the phone!
oh and the phone number started with 07951 but im sure that won't matter as it would have just been another fraudulent number
