Watchdog Ofcom lays bare scale of problem as mobile network EE blocks 18,000 sim cards
The scourge of scam texts and calls has been laid bare by UK telecoms regulator research showing almost 45 million people received at least one in the last three months, while mobile network EE had to block 18,000 sim cards used for the fraud over that period.
Research by Ofcom found that 82% of adults had received a suspicious message during the summer, with most reporting that it had come via a text.
