Got a call from a bloke with a strong Indian accent claiming he was from OVO Energy. Didn’t hang around, just told him to put the phone down straight away.

I got two calls from +441182180712 pretty close together. My phone was on silent so I didn’t notice until afterwards. I usually don’t pick up calls from unfamiliar numbers. If it’s important, they’ll leave a voicemail anyway.

Got a call from 01182180172 this afternoon and my phone flagged it as a "Suspected Scam." I've just gone ahead and blocked the number now.

About three hours back got a call from this number, but I usually dont pick up if I dont know who it is. Didn’t leave any voicemail either, so I’m thinking it might be a scam.

I got a call from someone trying to sell me a discount on some service or product, but honestly, I couldn't make out what they were saying because of their accent. It was really hard to understand them.

Had a call claiming to be from O2, seemed dodgy so I reported it to O2 as a scam. I’m guessing they might have been fishing for my bank info or something like that. Not taking any chances!

I didn't pick up this call, and honestly, I wouldn’t have anyway as I never answer calls from unknown numbers. I looked up the number afterwards and found out it's apparently a scam. Plus, like a few others mentioned, I’m not even an 02 customer. So yeah, it’s blocked now 🚫

I got a call from someone claiming to be 02, saying they had some deals. When I told them I’m not with 02, they just ended the call. This has happened to me a few times already, but they always use different numbers and area codes. Definitely feels dodgy.

This one said they were from O2 too, promising a 40% discount, but it was obvious a con because they didn’t have any of the details an actual O2 rep would know. Definitely a scam, just like the rest.

Got one of those calls from someone claiming to be with o2 offering a "better deal," just like others have said. I said no straight away, but then I kept ringing them back just to let them know how irritating their calls were. Eventually, they blocked my number, so fingers crossed they won’t be bothering me anymore.

I'm pretty sure this ring is actually coming from somewhere closer to Rangoon than Reading!

Got another spam caller today, bit annoying cos it was a different number this time (011 8218 0172), which is a landline from Reading. I ignored the call but checked the number on here after and decided to block it straight away.

Got a call from this number saying they were from o2. The person on the line was really hard to follow, and they kept pushing a better deal than what I’m already paying. What was odd is they seemed to know things about my account, but I only joined o2 like a week ago! Feels a bit fishy - do you reckon o2 might be letting scammers get hold of personal info?

Got a call from someone claiming to be 02, offering a 40% discount on my bill. When I told them I’m not with 02, they just hung up. Sounds like it was probably another scam to me.

TOTAL SCAMMER ALERT. Blocking these pests is a waste of time since they just ring you from different numbers all day. What’s actually helped me loads is letting out a really loud whistle right into the phone - sounds mad, I know, but it works like a charm! Since doing that, the scam calls have dropped a lot, like they’ve taken me off their lists or something. Seriously, give it a go, it’s brilliant 👌

Said they were from O2 but it definitely felt like a scam.

About an hour ago I got a call but didn’t pick up. Checked the number here and have now blocked it. This morning alone, I’ve had three different scam calls from various numbers!

Got a call saying I was eligible for a 40% reduction on my contract. When I asked which contract they meant, they recited the last three digits of my phone number. I then asked what the contract was about, and they said it was my 02 one. I told them I don't have any contract with 02 and then they just ended the call. They had my number but didn’t know my name and just called me "madam," which made me really wary straight away! Be careful if you get a call like this.

I received a rather puzzling phone call today. The person on the line inquired about a chap named John, which struck me as odd since there's no one by that name residing here. I informed them they must have dialled incorrectly, but their response was rather rude; they hung up quite abruptly as soon as I mentioned it. Quite an unpleasant exchange, if you ask me!

Got a call from someone claiming to be 02, they sent me a couple of texts, one had a code and they wanted me to give it to them. I just ended the call and blocked the number. Still, the phone keeps ringing non stop for days now, it's been going on for nearly a week.

Got a call from someone claiming to be O2, they already had loads of my info and kept asking for my codes. Chatted with O2 afterwards and found out it was a scam. Best to just ignore and block those numbers!

I'd say it's safer to just avoid talking to the person on the other end altogether. Better not risk it.

Got a call from someone asking for a chap called 'John'. I told them no one with that name is around here, but they just didn’t seem to get it and hung up on me pretty quickly.
