Hi @Donna233 as you have found numbers are now recycled as there aren't enough new numbers for everyone. So yes your "new" number could well have been used before. It's not fraud, all networks are the same now.

Re: Sim card
If it says they have been dispatched this means that have now been handed over to Royal Mail so hopefully should be with you within the next day or so.

Re: Sim card
Not sure there is anything you can do @Donna233 the bank will need to remove it from the person previously allocated it. Hopefully their fraud investigation will do this for you ?
