They rang me a couple of times this week, I had no clue who it was so I didn’t answer. After seeing what others have said, they sound a bit suspicious.

They said they were ringing from O2 and wanted to chat about my existing contract. Since I’m not an O2 customer, I asked where they got my number from. They replied that they call both current and possible customers, but when I asked again where my details came from, they just ended the call.

Some bloke said he was Steven from O2, asked which network I was with, and mentioned the call was being recorded. Then he just hung up right after that. Bet I'll get another call next week. Best not to answer these.

Sounds like a typical Manchester scam. This company must have bought a bunch of similar phone numbers. If you’re not sure who it is, best just to ignore the call.

some bloke called asking what network I use, I didn’t wanna say so he just kept asking again and again - such a pain. I reckon the number's fake anyway. I get that phone firms can't block these calls but can't they make companies show their real phone numbers?

Said they were from O2, but started asking loads of questions right away and wouldn’t let me get a word in. Really disrespectful. Stay clear of them.
