"Said the SIM card was being cancelled and replaced with a 5G. Sent an email and asked to verify it. Email from 3, at first glance, can't tell if it's real. My contract isn't with 3. It felt like they were trying to scam me into switching to 3. I told the operator that under no circumstances was that to happen and hung up."
