My mum has had 4 missed calls from this number, and she finally answered it today, he mentioned something about a phone contract, and recently upgrading, and from what i have managed to find out, they appear to be some kind of scam using carphonewarehouse's name
This is where it gets strange, they confirmed the first line of our address and postcode, which i know can be got reasonably easily, but they also mentioned something about this is your PIN number for the contract or something
But the PIN they gave my mum, was exactly the same as her PIN code for her debit cards 
Too much of a coincidence for me, has anyone else had anything like this?

area code is dagenham as my nan has the exact same code (0208)
tell your mum to change all her pin numbers.
they could easily have got te pin number through looking through rubbish bins.

you can't easily get a pin number from looking through rubbish bins.

Does sound dodgy.
Also, how can you change her PIN for her?

Your mum didnt choose to have the same PIN for her phone as her debit card? Sure loads of people end up using the same pin for laods of things

Didn't ring them, just sorted the pin ourselves

She doesnt have a PIN on her mobile, the pin was a number she was told needed to be quoted whenever she rang her phone company
Which is why it's even more dodgy, because she only had the code for her bank card, so it's hard to see how anyone could know, and too much of a coincidence that they just gave 4 numbers in exactly the same order
