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.

Some bloke said he was from CLARKSONS, talking all fancy about MAESK and stuff... CLARKSONS RESEARCH sounds like a proper company, but why on earth would they need to contact me? And how did they even get hold of my mobile number? Feels dodgy to me, probably just another scam call.

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’m really curious who’s been handing out my number - this is the fourth call I’ve had in as many days, all from different phone numbers. Whenever I answer, I just stay quiet and they end up hanging up. Noticed loads of similar O2 complaints from others too. Definitely blocked now.

Someone phoning up claiming to be from O2 wouldn’t answer the questions I threw at them about security. After that, I got a text from 'them' warning me not to pick up any more calls, even if they’re supposedly from O2. Something felt off about the whole thing.
