Received a call that I didn't expect-when I inquired about how he obtained my number, he simply replied with a rather rude remark and hung up. Quite alarming!

Got a call and missed the part where they said who they were, so I asked them to say it again. They just said “god bless you miss” and started going on about knocking 30% off my bills. I asked a second time where they were calling from, they said O2, which I’m not a customer of. When I told them that, they hung up straight away. Definitely seems like a scam.

Got a call from 01618262106 earlier today, didn’t recognise the number. It showed up as Manchester, but I’ve no one from there, so I just ignored it. Glad I did, cause after checking here, looks like a scam. Once they know someone’s picked up, you usually get bombarded with more scam calls, and they’re definitely not nice. I just let it ring off. If it was a proper call, they’d leave a message, right? Stay alert, everyone. No way they’re getting any cash from me.

Got a call from this number claiming to be O2 offering 30% off. I played along for about ten minutes without giving any details and kept asking questions. Then he wanted a security question - my email address. I told him I wasn’t sharing any info since I knew he was up to no good, and he just yelled “F*** YOU!” before hanging up on me. :’)

Just got a ring from this number today at 3:38 pm on 16/1/2024. It was an Asian woman trying to convince me to switch to a mobile deal saying it was “better.” After I told her to sort her own stuff and mind her business, then told her where to stick herself, she weirdly hung up on me 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Got a call from 0161 826 2106, some bloke claiming to be Steve from O2. Spoke with an Indian accent. Told me I could get a discount with O2, but I’m not even with them. Tried to get my email but I didn’t give it. Said he’d call again but asked me to text 07477226029 ext 268 only. Pretty dodgy. Dan

Told them I had to go, even though they said it’d only take a minute or two. I repeated that I had to leave and then they asked if they could ring me back later. I said no thanks and ended the call.

Got two calls within an hour from someone acting like they were O2. I usually mess about a bit to waste their time so they bug fewer people who actually might believe them. First call I played along for about five mins, then said I couldn’t talk because of a dodgy stomach and they just hung up. The second call I started singing some random pop song and they just dropped the call.

Got a call offering a discount on my O2 plan. Thing is, my service is with O2 but via another company. When I asked who they were representing and mentioned I don’t actually have an O2 account, the person just said “oh s**t” and promptly hung up. The caller sounded like they had an Indian accent.

I received a phone call that claimed to be from O2, where the caller was attempting to offer me a promo code for a discount. To secure this discount, they requested my six-digit one-time password. The message I got, seemingly from "O2 UK", even contained a warning about not disclosing the code to anyone, making the whole situation appear quite convincing. Sensing something was off, I declined to provide the information and expressed my suspicion that it was a scam before ending the call. Since then, they've tried reaching me on three separate occasions, clearly eager to follow up.
O2O2 UK

Some bloke rang me saying he was from 02 and that because I’ve been with them for ages, I could get a discount. He wanted my card info to sort it out. I’ve never even been an 02 customer! Would I hand over my card details? No way. Total scam.

Just to add to what I said earlier: when you look at the messages, there’s no phone number linked to them. This makes it impossible to verify their authenticity, as you’re left only with the sender’s name - “O2 UK.” It’s so similar to the actual brand, yet just off enough to raise suspicion.

Got a call from someone pretending to be O2, saying they needed a password reset code to give me a "discount." I gave them some random made-up codes and after the third one they got really annoyed and just hung up on me haha.

Got a call today claiming to be from 02, and they even mentioned my bank account number! I didn’t share any details tho. Contacted 02 afterwards and they confirmed it was a scam. Rang my bank too, they said these scammers usually try to create direct debits but have now blocked any new ones on my account. Stay safe, everyone!
