I received a dodgy call from someone claiming to be from O2, trying to lure me in with a so-called "improved deal" compared to what I already have. It’s definitely a trickster! Stay vigilant, and I strongly recommend you block this number right away!

Got calls from some scams pretending to be BT, but turns out they were calling all the way from India. Just hang up straight away and make sure you report them to the UK fraud authorities - that’s what we did! This same woman called us twice in two days, each time from a different number. Absolute muppets!

This person kept ringing and just said “hello” over and over while I was there, but I didn’t say anything back. When I stayed silent, they just gave up and ended the call haha.

01612497897 showed up on my phone bill as an outgoing call, actually it popped up 3 times within 3 seconds and I got charged 25p each time. How can anyone make calls from my line without me being aware? This feels like theft to me. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR PHONE BILLS CAREFULLY!

This number has been ringing me constantly. They claim to be from O2 and won’t stop pestering me to switch my phone plan. I told them if I was interested, I’d just pop into the O2 store nearby, but they just keep calling anyway. Now when I see that number, I just don’t pick up.

Got a few annoying calls from 01612497897, real pushy sales folks. I told 02 about it through their live chat, and they reckon it's some third-party company offering deals for 02. I'd steer clear of them myself.

01612497897 is such a pain, tried to block but they keep ringing all the time, had about 9 calls this week alone, really wish it would just stop already!!!

They claim to be from O2 but couldn’t answer a single question about our phone usage. Our number is on the TPS list but they carry on ringing and push their sales spiel even after we told them. Whoever they really are, it’s definitely not O2 - just some third party sales firm.

i've told them to quit ringing me so many times but still got two calls today, both i just ignored - said something about O2 deals - when i do pick up i tell them i'm never switching my plan so there's no point, but they just keep banging on.

I'm really sick of these callers always ringing about switching my phone plan. I've said loads of times I’m happy with what I’ve got. I'm feeling awful right now and they just pick the worst times to ring, like when I’m trying to rest. So annoying!

Said they were from O2, but I’m not so sure. I told them I was busy at work and they said they really "NEED a few minutes" to talk. I get calls like this now and then, so I just block them. If it really was O2, they should seriously stop calling like this, but with all the new data rules, I doubt it’s legit.

I spoke with someone from O2 about contracts and they were actually pretty nice, which was surprising given my previous bad experiences. They showed me deals that are way better than what I’m on currently, and it would only cost a few pounds extra monthly.
