Got a call from someone pushing these call blocking subscriptions, wasn't interested at all.

Got a call from a bloke with an accent claiming he was from O2. Told me my sim would get blocked in 3 days because of some merger with Virgin Media. Said I didn’t have to lift a finger and they’d just send me a new sim to my door. I said “great”, and then he tried to pass me over to some dispatch people. I just hung up - I pay my bill to O2, they know my address already, no need to give it to anyone else! Then the same number kept ringing me back, so I blocked it. I’m pretty sure it was a scam, but who knows, maybe the postman will prove me wrong.

Got a call from someone saying they were with Virgin Media O2, supposed to chat about mobile signal. Told them I was busy, but they pushed on trying to sell me a discount, which I declined. Then, 8 days later, they rang again. I said I wasn’t interested, but they kept asking “why, ma’am?” over and over, so I just ended the call.

Had a very similar experience to what's been said before. Got a really aggressive bloke on the line who wouldn’t give me any proper info or explain what was going on. Kept threatening that my sim would get blocked or cancelled, just trying to freak people out. Don’t fall for it. Total scam. Steer clear.

Got a call from someone with a really harsh Indian accent warning me that my "virgin O2 number" would get blocked in three days. Sounds like a total scam to me. I've never heard of O2 ringing from a 0121 number before, and their goal is obviously to snatch account info. Last December, these scammers were busy ordering pricey phones using this trick. Don’t fall for it and definitely don’t give out any details. I’ve reported them to Ofcom but nothing’s been done so far, which is probably why they’re still going strong.

Got a call from 0121 714 3996, the person claimed to be from 02 and warned my phone line would be blocked within a few days. I’m not even an 02 customer, so I just ended the call right there.
