Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Phone Scam
Over the last week I've had letters from both T-Mobile and Vodaphone welcoming me to their service and saying that they hope I'm enjoying my new phone - rather worrying since I'd not signed up with either and I don't have a new phone. Even more alarmingly when I spoke to Vodaphone they told me that a phone was delivered to my house (at a time when no-one was in) and signed for by someone claiming to be me. that suggests I'm being scammed by someone local. I live in a house on the Gardens converted into three flats, both of the people in the other flats have lived there for the last couple of years, and whilst I don't know them well, I've never had any reason to think they're in any way dodgy. Anyone else had this?

No, but were you speaking to Vodafone directly? We had trouble with third-party sellers who call saying they're from Vodafone and offering upgrades. Other half asked them to send details of offer by post, which they interpreted as an agreement to sign up to an over-priced 2-year deal so they could claim commission. Vodafone initially not v helpful, but 'contract' was eventually cancelled when we insisted they provide proof we'd signed up

Yes - the first I knew about it was a letter arrived from Vodaphone welcoming me and confirming I'd set up a direct debit agreement with them (luckily with the wrong bank details) - at which point I rang them to ask what was happening. To their credit Vodaphone were very helpful (much more so than T-mobile!) and instantly cancelled everything and passed it on to their fraud department.

Might be worth keeping pay the small fees and checking your credit record with Experian or Equifax which might show if any one is taking anything out in your name?

Thanks -I've done that in the past but not for a while, definitely not worth doing again
