Phone number ☎️ 01618188702 👆 is reported as a scam frequently impersonating O2, trying to trick people into sharing personal and bank details via calls or texts offering fake discounts or loans. Callers use rude, aggressive behaviour and boast some info to sound legit, but often have heavy accents and fail to answer basic questions. They ask for security codes or fees upfront and hang up if challenged. Victims warn others about fraud attempts involving supposed bill reductions or vouchers, sometimes involving crude language or inappropriate conduct. Many stress the importance of not engaging, noting no genuine voicemail or follow-up, and mention the caller switching numbers when blocked. Several found the ordeal annoying but also somewhat amusing due to the scammers’ poor acting skills.
Reports on phone number 01618188702
4 monthsI got called by some dodgy person pretending to be from insurance, but they were really rude and kept spouting lies. Felt like a scam to me, nothing trustworthy about it at all. Avoid them!6 monthsGot a ring about some accident supposedly involving me, but I’ve never been in one. Pretty sure it was a fraud call. Best to steer clear.4 yearsI got a message from this number saying they were O2, but turns out they were just pretending. They were after my details to get into my O2 account and pull off some kind of scam. I didn’t catch on fast enough and they almost got me, but luckily I stopped it before they could do any real harm or cost me loads.4 yearsI got an email telling me I was accepted for a £3000 loan, but then they wanted my bank info and a £50 fee to be sent over first! Watch out everyone, this seems dodgy.5 yearsI received a call purporting to be from O2, suggesting that I could get a 50% reduction on my bill by extending my contract. They were quite persistent in asking for my banking information.5 yearsI just got a call from this number but didn’t pick up. I had a quick look on here before deciding to call back. There was no voicemail left either.5 yearsa guy called claiming to be from 02 and said they could give me 40% off on all my bills.5 yearstotal scam, I reckon. I called them out once and told the bloke off. Then he rang me from another number, but this time, he just swore at me straight away and hung up. guess that first call really got under his skin or something! 05 yearsSomebody pretended their number was 02.O25 yearsWhat a bunch of idiots! They say they’ll send you texts to lower your phone charges and just ask for some code or whatever. Total rubbish!5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they could knock 40% off my phone bill. They mentioned they’d be sending a couple of texts. I ended the call straight away. Sure enough, I got those 2 texts afterwards. Looks like one of those O2 scams.5 yearsTotal scam, avoid answering or calling back! If youre unsure, have a look at the police fraud site. Just google ‘action fraud’ and pick the one that’s on ‘police.uk’. They got loads of useful info on how to report if you’ve been ripped off, as well as tips on dealing with scam calls, texts, and emails. Stay safe and dont get caught out!5 yearsThe person on the phone had a really strong accent and said they were calling from 02. They couldn’t really answer simple questions at all.5 yearsSomebody called claiming to be from my phone company. I asked them exactly which one it was, and they said O2. Since I’m not with O2, I just ended the call straight away.5 yearsHe said his name was Oscar but honestly, his accent made me think he was from India. Could’ve been Imran or maybe Raj, hard to say. The number started with 02, I think.IndiaOscarImranRaj5 yearsGot a call from someone named ‘Michael’ claiming to be with O2. He said he’d give me a £50 voucher if I just entered a code. When I asked him to confirm my DOB, he said he'd have to do security checks first - which conveniently was my DOB! Michael then tried about three times to guess my birthday before I told him he wasn’t very good at this. He fired back and called me useless! Whether Michael’s a scammer or not, he’s definitely easy to mess around with. Next time he rings, I’m gonna have a laugh with him. Oh, and funniest part? He said his last name was Jordan. Michael’s a daft little bloke but good for a chuckle.MichaelJordan5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with o2 saying I could get half off my phone bill. They even had my email and the exact amount I pay every month. I didn’t share any details but it was pretty creepy how much they already knew. When I tried ringing o2 to check, they just ended the call on me! Honestly, brilliant customer service from o2... not.5 yearswatch out for O2, it's a scam!5 yearsThis bloke calling himself Michael from O2 was on the phone, claiming all sorts. I said I didn’t buy a single word and asked him for my date of birth and postcode. He couldn’t give me either. I told him to sod off with his dodgy scam and that he was rubbish at it. Then he went and called me useless! Told him to find a real job, and he threw it straight back at me. We kept going back and forth like that for a bit. Honestly, Michael might be rubbish at this scammy stuff but he’s proper easy to rile up. Definitely had a laugh with it!Michael5 yearsGot a call from someone who said they were with 02 and knew my last name. Had a really strong Indian accent and sounded like he was just reading from a script. He was offering some phone deals on behalf of 02 but I couldn’t catch half of what he said because of the accent, so I just ended the call. Definitely felt like a scam to me.5 yearsGot a call on my phone but no voicemail. Tried ringing back, but no one picked up.5 yearsI didn’t pick up so I’m not sure who that was. They didn’t leave a voicemail either, and when I rang back, no one answered.5 yearsThis number has rang me more than once, but I couldn’t even pick up this time before they hung up.5 yearsSome bloke rang claiming he was with 02, but when I told him I wasn’t with them, he got all upset, asked why I was sniggering like a daft cow, then just dropped the call.5 yearsgot a call on my mobile earlier claiming to be from O2 with a 40% discount deal. I just knew it was dodgy and ended the call straight away. blocked the number now, but they’ll probably just ring from a different one anyway.5 yearsSome bloke called saying he was from 02, but as soon as we fired a question back at him, he just hung up on us.5 yearsThis number is unfamiliar to me. I usually just ignore calls from unknown numbers and don't bother leaving a message either.5 yearsGot a call from a woman with a bit of an accent, she kept going on about O2 and some kind of script she was following. Seemed a bit off to me.5 yearsI told him I wasn’t with O2, and then out of nowhere he starts calling me names for laughing, before just slamming the phone down on me.O25 yearsPicked up and gave my last name along with the final four digits of my number, as the person claimed they could slash half off my bills. When I jokingly asked which bill exactly he meant, he snapped back with a crude comment about his own "bill."5 yearsSomebody rang me saying they was from O2, talkin’ about me gettin’ some sort of refund. I was like “what’s this then?” and next thing, she goes “f*** off, mate” and just cut the call. Proper rude!5 yearsJust wanted to let you know, that number’s definitely from 02.5 yearsGot a call the other day from someone claiming to be with O2, offering a deal to lower my phone charges. Since I’m still in the middle of my contract, I had my doubts about it being legit. They kept insisting that knowing the last four digits of my number was proof they really worked for O2.5 yearsI just told him to piss off, then he told me the same, so I went ahead and said it once more before hanging up 😂5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from 02 and wanted to give me £50. Sounded a bit fishy to me.5 yearsI think I might have fallen victim to some scam involving O2.Submit Your Own Report (0161 818 8702)
