i had this offer given to me, 3 days ago, the person said he will offer me 10 pounds a month sim only deal, with 1500 mins and unlimted texts, he just asked for me to send a copy of my credit report. i was asking alot of questions, he claimed he was in london, i told him ill come to you and get the offer, i noticed his email address was @something.de meaning it was from germany, so asked him this and he didnt reply
i think its too fishy

Sounds like a good amount of mins/texts, But yeah it sounds really fishy, Leave it, A company does not need a copy of your credit report, Sounds like an advanced phishing scam.0

Pile of carp and therefore fishy for sure.
The mobile networks do their own credit checks. Anyone obtaining your credit report will have everything they need to fleece you silly with ID fraud.
