AI Summary
Based on 1 community report
This Carlisle number, carried by Voxbone SA, has received a report of a potential sim swap scam. The caller claimed to be from Vodafone and pressured the recipient about an urgent sim replacement, citing a fabricated midnight deadline. When questioned, they hung up immediately—a typical response when a scam attempt is challenged.
Sim swap scams are designed to gain access to your phone number, which fraudsters can then use to reset passwords, intercept security codes, or take over accounts. Vodafone will never contact you this way about sim issues. If you receive similar calls, hang up and verify directly with Vodafone using their official number on your bill. Never share personal details or sim information with unsolicited callers, and be especially cautious of urgent-sounding deadlines.

Said he was from Vodafone and wanted to send me a new phone sim because my number was going down at midnight. I told him there was nothing wrong with my phone sim and he hung up.

It does not prove that the registered owner of the number made the call or text. Community reports describe individual experiences and are not official confirmation of a scam.

Safety score
1 reportHow this score was worked out
Each report rates the number as safe, unknown, suspicious or spam. The score combines those ratings, giving more weight to clear scams, and each person counts once. A number only reaches high risk once several people have independently reported it. Scores of 70% and above count as high risk, 40% to 69% as medium, and below 40% as low; a low-risk number reads Maybe Safe once someone reports it as safe. More about spam scores
