1 monthI got a call from 3, saying they'd offer me a discount even though I don’t have any contract with them. They asked me to confirm my address!2 monthsGot a call from some bloke claiming to be with 3, with loads of noise in the background. I asked where he was calling from since the number was from Burnley. After a long silence, he said he was at 3's main office in Reading. When I asked him who exactly he thought I was, he started to get annoyed and couldn’t answer, so I just ended the call.Burnley3Reading2 monthsThey were really eager to sell me a new sim and kept asking for my postcode.2 monthsThey rung me a couple times but I didn’t pick up any of em.2 monthsWarning! They claimed to be from Three but couldn't give me my address or email attached to my account. Definitely seems like a scam to me.2 monthsTotal rip off! They acted like they were from Three Mobile but it was all a con.Three Mobile2 monthsJust like loads of others, someone was on the other end trying to sell me a new SIM card, haha.2 monthsI've had three calls from the same number about some dodgy sim card offer, so I've just gone ahead and blocked them now.2 monthsChatted with an Indian bloke who struggled with his English, so I had no clue what he was on about.2 monthsSome bloke called, claiming he was from O2 or Virgin, saying my sim was old and I had to switch from 4G to 5G. Sounds dodgy to me, just trying to pull a fast one!O2Virgin2 monthsThe caller called herself Hetty and went on about Vodafone and 3 joining together. She was telling me my sim was outdated and said they'd send me a new one which would arrive at my door tomorrow. Then she asked me to verify my address, but I didn't give her any details.HettyVodafone32 monthsGot a call from a guy saying he was with Three Network. I told him I wasn’t interested and just ended the call. Looks like the usual scam where they pretend to be your service provider.Three Network2 monthsGot a call from someone saying they were with EE or BT, sounded exactly like the situation mentioned before.EEBT3 monthsThis was definitely a scam, pretending to be O2 and Virgin Media. They couldn't even get simple facts right or answer any basic questions properly. Not genuine at all.O2Virgin Media3 monthsDidnt pick up, my phone flagged it as maybe spam.3 monthsGot a call from someone saying they were with O2, but I was pretty sure it was a scam straight away. Their English was all over the place like most of these dodgy calls. My phone even flagged it as "suspected scam," so no surprise there. It's a scary time with these scams around, but being careful on calls does save a lot of folks from getting caught out.3 monthsSomeone said they were from O2 but their English was really bad, so I just ended the call. Definitely felt like a scam to me.3 monthsGot a call from some bloke saying he worked for my mobile company, but I’ve never even heard of the firm he mentioned. Something felt off about the whole thing, so I told him straight up it was a scam and that he must’ve got my number illegally since I never gave it out. After I said that, he just stopped talking. I've blocked the number now. Wouldn’t recommend answering it. The call seemed to come from somewhere in Burnley.Burnley3 monthsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Virgin/O2, saying my sim was outdated and I had to switch from 4G to 5G. They tried to get me to log in through a text with a 2FA code, but when that didn’t work, they sent an email with a link to reset my password. Didn’t take the bait, but if you know anyone who might, definitely give them a heads up.Virgin / O23 monthsWatch out for a scam involving O2 SIM cards and Virgin Media. I got called by someone pretending to be from Virgin Media, said something about my O2 SIM card, total scam! Don't fall for it!Virgin Media3 monthsAbsolutely a scam, I reckon! How on earth did they get hold of my number? Best not to pick up at all. âšī¸3 monthsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Virgin/O2, saying my SIM card was old and that I had to switch from 4G to 5G. They tried to get me to log into my account using a 2FA code sent by text, but when that didn’t work, they sent an email with a password reset link. Thankfully, I wasn’t fooled at all. Just thought I’d give a heads up in case someone you know might get caught out by this sort of thing.Virgin / O23 monthsGot a call from a bloke with an Indian accent saying something about my SIM card. When I asked him who my network provider was, he said O2, but that’s totally wrong for me. Sounds like a scam, so watch out folks!3 monthsGot a call from someone claiming to be O2. I told them I’m not with O2 and ended the call. Then they rang me again asking why I had hung up!3 monthsGot a call from some Asian bloke claiming to be from 02 and Virgin Media, saying my account was being shut down. Thing is, I’m not even a customer with them! Told him to stop ringing me, and when I called him out on it being a scam, he just hung up. Blocked the number straight away. Proper scam artists!02Virgin Media3 monthsGot a call from a number saying it was Burnley, England but they didn’t leave any voicemail or anything. Just a bit odd.BurnleyEngland3 monthsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise, and my phone flagged it as spam. It rang for maybe 20 seconds then just went dead. Didn’t pick up.3 monthsDefinitely a call centre from Asia, no doubt about it. I tried talking in some rubbish language I made up just to confuse them, but the bloke just kept going and refused to end the call. Then I rang the number again from a different phone and someone actually picked up. Seems like it was a VoIP line or something.Asia3 monthsGot a call from someone claiming to be from O2 and Virgin Media about an unpaid bill. Thing is, I’m not even a customer with either company. I suspected it was a scam straight away but played along a bit just to mess with them. Told them all my payments go through direct debit, and they snapped back asking how I knew it had cleared. Then they put me on to some bloke named Michael after I asked them to stop calling me. They also wanted my email so they could supposedly “shut down my account.”O2Virgin MediaMichael3 monthsLooks like this was dodgy spam, and the replies here back that up. I've gone ahead and blocked the number now.3 monthsGot a call from an Asian gent saying he was from a mobile phone company. Told him I don't take unsolicited calls and hung up. Feels like it might have been spam.3 monthsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent saying he was with Virgin O2. Thought it might be dodgy but since my broadband is Virgin, I decided to pick up when he asked if I'd been having signal problems lately. He said he'd send someone round the next day to sort it out and bring new kit without charging me extra. Then he asked for my address. I told him it's the same as what's on file since I haven't moved in 17 years. His response was a sudden "Oh" before he just hung up on me. Not expecting anyone to show up today now! đVirgin3 monthsGot a call from a guy claiming to be John, said he was from Virgin Media. Told me my Virgin account was about to get cancelled. Told him I don’t even have Virgin, you’re trying to scam me. Then he just hung up on me.JohnVirgin MediaVirgin3 monthsGot a call on my smartphone that I hadn’t asked for, and it ended up being tagged as probable spam. Quite annoying!3 monthsThis number doesn’t ring any bells - feels like a spam call to me.3 monthsGot a call from some Indian call centre, said they were Vodafone. Seems like a fresh number linked to the same scam group. Just the usual phishing nonsense. I’ve blocked it already.VodafoneSubmit Your Own Report (01282 571658)
