Answered with total silence - called back and after a few rings, someone finally picked up and just said “What?” Clearly not O2 like some have suggested. Sounds like a proper scam to me!

Got a call from 0161 694 6921, the guy claimed he was with National Geographic and that he knew my name. He wanted to pitch some current affairs magazine, 3 months for a quid. I just hung up straight away and blocked the number after that.

After seeing all the posts about scam calls from that O2 number and someone called Jessica, I think it’s real. I just got a missed call from the same number but didn’t answer. Watch out when you’re on public WiFi, folks.

This number called me and it’s definitely a scam. Best to just ignore it and not pick up.

They've rung me a couple of times already, both times I just didn't pick up. I always avoid answering calls from numbers I don't recognise, especially with dodgy area codes. This one showed up as Manchester but I’m nowhere near that area. Reading other comments, it sounds like they might be grabbing numbers off O2 wifi hotspots or something similar. Proper dubious. Never thought using public wifi would risk my number and maybe even my name ending up in the hands of dodgy folks. Proper annoyed about it.

Got a call at 7.50pm this evening from a woman claiming to be with O2 and said she knew my name. She tried to push some data and minutes packages on me. Apparently, she got my number from Harvester Grays where I had used their free WiFi. She kept asking for loads of personal info but I refused. After a bit, she just gave up.

Got a call from a scammer but I didn’t pick up. I’m only 14 and think they might of grabbed my number from Morrison’s free WiFi, cos I used it yesterday. I’ve heard some others say their numbers have been nicked from free WiFi lists too.

They called me earlier and it was definitely a scam. Better not to pick up.

Got a call from someone claiming to be O2, but I knew right away it was bogus since I’m with another network. Told them to remove me from their list and to stop ringing me as I was sure it was a scam. They insisted it wasn’t and even offered to send a text, but I’m well aware scammers can spoof O2’s name. Best thing to do is just block the number.

O2 was calling to push their deals.

They claimed to be with O2. Since I’m not with O2, the only way they probably got my number was through a mate who used it to connect their tablet to WiFi at a popular fast food place, via a text that shows as O2 WiFi. Whenever someone odd rings up and starts with “Hi, I’m from [Whoever]. How’s your day going?” (as always) it’s a safe bet they want to sell you something. Maybe their aim was just that, but grabbing numbers from people’s WiFi logins to flog stuff is at best a GDPR no-no, and could even be illegal. Needless to say, I wasn’t impressed.

I received a call from someone claiming to represent O2, stating they wanted to enhance my 4G experience. The thing is, I’ve never been an O2 customer, so their call made no sense whatsoever. It’s clear to me that this is a scam, so I would strongly advise steering clear of such calls.

I rang them back and there was this really professional sounding voicemail before I got to speak to someone. They somehow already had my name from some WiFi thing and claimed I’d agreed to be contacted, trying to pitch me a better offer. I told them straight up I knew they were just scammers and wanted them to delete my info. The lady, with a foreign accent, kept denying they were scammers. I just told her to find something better to do and then she just cut me off.

Someone called saying they were Nikita from O2 and kept asking if I was over 18. I didn’t want to share any details until she told me where she was calling from. Had to ask her twice before she said O2. I nicely said I’m not an O2 customer and before I could finish, she just hung up. Definitely a scam, they must’ve got my info somehow.

They rang me earlier and said the same rubbish. This number’s called me before, and I already told the police about it, they’re dealing with it now. The caller said her name was Jessica. I hung up, then saw this and called back, asking Jessica how many people named Jessica actually work there. She said just one. I told her if she or anyone else keeps phoning, I’ll report them all to the cops again. She started apologising and promised it wouldn’t happen again, even admitted it was a scam. If you mention the police, they quickly say sorry and admit it’s dodgy. Proper sneaky bunch!

They’re probably gathering info from public Wi-Fi spots like cafes. I always log in with fake names, and this caller actually asked for one of those fake names - the one I only ever use for Wi-Fi access, so it has to be from there. I’m definitely gonna be more careful about using public Wi-Fi from now on.

I rang the number back and they claimed to be O2 (which they most definitely arent). They said they’d get back to me, but if they do, I’m just gonna ignore it. Don’t trust this number at all.

She claimed to be ringing on behalf of O2, which I’ve never had anything to do with, but she somehow knew my name. I asked her to take me off their call list, then she said she needed my age to do that. When I asked her why, she just cut the call.
