Vodaphone Gold Customer

I have been called by someone saying they are from Vodafone saying that I am now a gold customer and they then went on to try and sell me more PAYG sim cards etc. Is this a scam as there is nothing on Vodafones web site about Gold Customers and it was an Irish number who rang. I have been with Vodafone for a number of years but only on a low tarriff, not a high spender.

Has anyone else had these calls? Is it Vodafone?

Thanks!

    Must just be me who's had this call then!
  • Micky you're not alone in receiving that call. I got one yesterday and exactly like you, checked out the website to see what it was all about. I found no info.. So, I've put a query to Vodafone. Was quite concerned as I now think it wasn't a genuine call but they knew my price plan and everything!

    I'll keep you updated.

    This number is the Vodafone outbound sales team. The numbers which operate from an automatic dialler are confirmed on the following link.

    I emailed Vodafone to ask what it was all about and didn't get a reply. I just forgot about it to be honest!

    Thanks for the reply though!
