This was total scam for sure. They called pretending they were from Tesco Mobile and asked me to reset my email password so they could get into my emails. Don’t share any details with them! I checked with Tesco and they confirmed it’s definitely a fraud.

I didn't answer the phone, but they dropped a voicemail by mistake. You can clearly hear them in an office, surrounded by others asking about PINs and passwords. Definitely sounds like a scam to me.

Got a call from a bloke claiming my O2 SIM was about to expire and if I handed over my details he’d sort me a new one by 9 am the next day. He clearly hasn’t heard about how rubbish the postal service can be with deliveries. Total scam alert. Seriously, don’t share your info with anyone like that unless you want to fool them with fake data!

Got a call from someone with an Indian accent claiming to be from Virgin Media, saying my SIM would stop working in two days and that I needed to get a replacement. This happened about a month back from another phone number, and guess what? My SIM is still fine. Total scam, don’t fall for it.

Scam O2/Virgin Mobile SIM swap call centre.

Got a call from someone pretending to be O2. They were fishing for my email, full name and address to link it with my number. Sounds like they want to improve their phishing attempts to trick you over and over. Watch out!

Got a call earlier saying my SIM had to be replaced, mentioned O2 and Virgin. The bloke was talking really quick, kept insisting it wouldn’t cost me anything. I didn’t say much and just listened, then he asked when I could have the new SIM sent over. Felt fishy somehow, so I ended the call and decided to look it up online. Pretty relieved I did, to be honest.

Received a call from someone claiming to be from O2 or Virgin, sounded like it was a scam team in India doing SIM swap tricks. When I mentioned I’d seen him on YouTube in a video showing scammers caught on CCTV, he totally lost it. He started saying I was the scammer, got really nasty and then just cut the call. Honestly, so simple to mess with them. Proper funny!

Got a call around 16:39 on 20/01/2025 from a bloke named Harry, sounded Indian, saying he worked for Tesco Mobile. He claimed my SIM card would stop working in two days and offered to send me a new 5G SIM. When I asked which company he was from and his number, he told me 02046148734 - which I looked up later and seems linked to scams. I told him I wasn’t convinced and would contact my provider myself. He said alright, thanks ma’am, and then ended the call. Sounds like a dodgy scam using a local number to trick people. He didn’t know any real details about my account or anything.
