Word of warning when receiving easymobile sims

Posts: 65 Forumite
I am doing this thread to warn people to make sure the number and sim match exactly details of why will be explained below.
I have received an incorrect sim from easymobile that was not meant for me but the person it should have gone to has not realised they have had the wrong sim and have activated it!!!!, easily done as the letter they send with the sims gives the correct code. I realise this as i nearly activated my sim but realised I had the wrong one and didnt.
Now of course with the incorrect sim being activated I could (But will not as im a nice person) spend the money and get the person in debt. I can also access all their info if I wanted to as I can request a password to be sent to the phone number!!. I am sure people are doing quidco offers etc and not checking these things?
When I called easy to report not having the correct sim they didnt seem too bothered about me having an incorrect activated sim and didnt want to know when I gave the details they just deactivated my one that presumably got sent to someone else by mistakee and resent it.
Sorry but was not sure if this is the right thread so please move if not.
