01617687382 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01617687382 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number impersonating O2 to offer fake discounts, aiming to access personal broadband accounts. Callers often have foreign accents and sometimes use English names, abruptly hanging up when challenged. The number is linked to relentless nuisance calls with no answers or aggressive hang-ups once suspicion is raised. Attempts to report scams via phone systems like 7726 are limited, as these only flag numbers as spam without involving the police, who no longer take direct phishing reports. This has frustrated many, highlighting the ongoing issue of organised crime using computer-generated spoofed numbers. Multiple users describe it as a broad broadband scam targeting vulnerable people in the UK.

Got a call from a blocked number about some broadband scam, felt off right away.

Got a call from someone pretending to be O2, said they were offering a discount but it was really just a trick to try and get into my O2 account. I’ve told O2 about it now.

Probably a scam, watch out.

I'm absolutely fed up with those pesky spam callers who just won't give it a rest! They keep ringing me at all hours, and it's becoming a right nuisance.

Just got a ring from this number, some Asian bloke claiming to be from my internet provider. Told me to hang up the phone. Watch out, feels like a total scam to me!

Got a call from some bloke claiming to be with 02, sounded foreign and kept calling me ‘mam’ which seemed a bit off. Definitely felt like a scam to me.

A bloke rang saying he was from O2 pushing some SIM offer. I kept telling him I'm not an O2 customer and don’t want to switch over. Had to say it like three times and then he just ended the call out of nowhere.

I've been plagued by these pesky calls that come out of nowhere. The phone rings, I answer, and it's complete silence on the other end. What a bother!

Someone rang me saying that because I’m with O2 and my broadband provider, they’d give me 40% off. I got suspicious and looked up the number here, and it matched all the scam warnings mentioned before. When I asked straight if I was being conned, they just cut the call immediately. At first, it was some Asian bloke, then they switched me to an English man who also hung up as soon as I called them out. The number is 01617687382 - definitely don’t trust it, it’s a scam.

Got a call from someone saying they were O2 and offering a 40% off deal. As soon as I called them out for being a scammer, they just dropped the call. Pretty sure they weren’t actually calling from Manchester.
