01216478746 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number βοΈ 01216478746 π is reported as a persistent, unsolicited scam targeting mobile users by impersonating O2 or Virgin Media representatives. Callers falsely claim usersβ SIM cards will be deactivated within days and offer replacement SIMs, often requesting personal details or email verification. Many victims report robotic or hard-to-understand voices, suspicious accents, and repeated calls from different numbers even after blocking. Genuine providers like O2 confirm they do not make such calls. The scam aims to obtain sensitive information or access accounts, potentially leading to fraud. Recipients are strongly advised not to answer unknown calls claiming to be from mobile network providers, avoid sharing any personal data, and verify concerns directly through official company channels. Blocking and reporting these numbers is recommended to prevent further harassment.

2 yearsGot a call claiming to be from Virgin Media, but it seemed like one of those O2-related scams. Watch out!O2Virgin Media2 yearsThe call was all weird and glitchy. I couldn't catch a word the person was saying, sounded like they were using some kind of robot voice filter. Ended up hanging up straight away.2 yearsGot a call from 020824, but there was no response on the other end. Quite peculiar!2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with o2 saying my sim would stop working in two days. I called them out as a scammer and just ended the call. Total scam.Rubbish2 yearsReceived a dodgy call claiming to be from O2. Total scam!2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be O2, but since I'm with O2, they usually just text me, never call. So the moment he said he was from O2, I was suspicous straight away. Plus, the guy had a strong South Asian accent which made me even more sure it was a scam. Honestly, just hang up if you get calls like this.2 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Indian accent warning my SIM card would be blocked in 2 days or something. She just hung up after that, and I never heard from them again.India2 yearsI reckon this might’ve been a dodgy scam call, quite risky from what I gathered.2 yearsAs soon as I picked up the phone, they just ended the call. Definitely not a real customer service person, just a bother. I quickly put the number on my block list.2 yearsSomebody called me, claiming my phone contract would get cancelled in a week.

Someone tried to tell me my O2 mobile sim was going to get shut down, but I don't even have an O2 account. I keep blocking the caller, but the same bloke keeps ringing me from various numbers saying the same thing to scare me. I just chuckle and say I’m not an O2 customer, then he claims my sim is tied to the "network" he can’t even name when I press him. Watch out folks, this is a total rip-off!2 yearsI've been receiving persistent calls from someone purporting to be from O2, insisting that they're dispatching a new SIM card. However, after reaching out to O2 directly, they assured me that they never make calls to their customers like this. Clearly, something fishy is going on!2 yearsGot a missed call showing up as ’O2’ on my phone, wasn’t sure if it was legit so I looked it up on this site.2 yearsI received a rather aggressive call from someone purporting to be from O2, insisting that my service would be terminated in a mere 48 hours unless I agreed to a new SIM card. They were quite insistent on getting me to open an email as well. I firmly told them that if I faced any interruption in my service, I'd reach out to O2 directly. No thank you! I'm fully aware of these sorts of scams doing the rounds.2 yearsReceived a dodgy call earlier today from some charlatan claiming that my SIM would be deactivated in a couple of days. I promptly ended the conversation before they could dive into their little con.2 yearsThey said they were calling from Virgin Media O2, but I just cut them off straight away 'cause I could tell it was dodgy.O2 Virgin Media2 yearsI received a call from someone claiming they're with O2, warning me that my number will be deactivated in just two days.2 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be with Virgin Media or 02, but I don’t even have service with them.

When I told the caller that, they just ended the call straight away!2 yearsEarlier today, I received a call warning me that my SIM card was about to be blocked in the next 48 hours. As soon as I heard that, I ended the call, feeling about 95% convinced it was just a scam.2 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be from O2 asking for my personal info - total scam, obviously.2 yearsGot a call again saying my O2 SIM’s about to be blocked ‘cause Virgin and O2 can’t send me a new one. Problem is, I’m not with either Virgin or O2! Told them they should find real work instead of trying to con people like this. Such a joke.Virgin2 yearsGot a call saying my sim was going to be shut off in a couple days and offered me a new one, claimed they were from Virgin/02. I just hung up and blocked the number. Later, they called my husband with the same story and tried to get his email, but he didn’t give anything away.O2Virgin2 yearsGot a call from this number earlier today. Had to ring up O2 straight away to sort the whole thing out. The guy on the phone claimed he was Jordon Rox, but I fell for it completely.

Honestly, just block 'em or don't bother answering if they ring you.2 yearsThis number rang me claiming to be from O2 Virgin and said they wanted to sort out some problems with my network. Honestly, it was hard to understand what the guy was saying. When I told him I wasn’t with Virgin, he quickly switched up and said he deals with all providers. I pointed out that he hadn’t mentioned that in the first place. Eventually, I just ended the call. They called back, and I told them I’d contact my provider myself if there was any issue and to stop ringing me. I blocked the number, but now I’m getting calls from other businesses too!

He mentioned that the card would be blocked in the next two days or so. I pointed out that I don't actually use O2, so I figured it was a scam of some sort.

I just said “no” and promptly ended the call.Sam2 yearsGot a call from this number just a few minutes back. Some bloke said he was from O2, but I’m not even with O2 - bit suspicious right?
