Some bloke rang me pretending to be from EE, told me he could sort a discount on my bill. Thing is, I’m not even an EE customer. When I called him out and told him he was a scammer, all he did was go, ‘Oh my god’ and hang up. Total scam!

Got a call from someone with a really thick accent saying they were from O2, but then started asking about my energy bills! He kept insisting I’m one of their customers, so I asked for my account info. Of course, he couldn’t provide any and just hung up on me. Total scam, watch out.

I totally would have taken that 40% discount if I'd caught the call, but of course I missed it 🙄. Just my luck, nothing nice ever comes my way!

I’ve never been told so many fibs so quickly. I was having my lunch and just kept chatting rubbish to him until he finally gave in. Good 20 minutes wasted so he couldn’t bother anyone else :-D

Total rip off.

He mentioned that it was CLARKSONS, sharing what seemed like relevant details about MAERSK and so forth. Now, CLARKSONS RESEARCH sounds like just any standard company name. But honestly, what’s the point of it for me? How on earth did he manage to obtain my personal mobile number? It’s all a bit off, if you ask me. I suspect it might have been one of those scam calls.

Got a call from 01242 238429 in Cheltenham but the connection was awful, couldnt hear a thing so the bloke just dropped the call. Moments later my phone rang again, this time 029 2264 5835 from Cardiff. The same guy asked if I could hear him properly now. When I questioned how he was ringing from two places at once, he just ended the call. Strange!

I kept getting calls that just cut out as soon as I answered. It came right after I ended up blocking a different phone number pretending to be O2, saying they could slice 40% off my bill.

I'm quite curious to find out who's been passing around my number! I've received four phone calls in just as many days, all from various numbers. When I answer, I usually remain silent, and they just hang up on me. Noticing a pattern with O2 comments related to these calls, which is somewhat frustrating. I've gone ahead and blocked them all.

Claimed to be representing O2 but dodged all my security queries. They even pinged me a text stating "Security Alert" and advised against answering any more calls, even those supposedly from O2.

Received a call from someone claiming to be from ''my mobile provider'', but they were rather vague about which one it was. They wanted me to disclose my income to check my eligibility for an offer they were pushing. I declined to share any details, and suddenly, the line went dead. Quite rude, really!
