Got loads of missed calls from this number all in one day. They never bother to leave a message either. Feels like a scam to me. I don't know anyone from Manchester. You'd reckon they'd give up by now.

SCAM CALLS! Make sure to report them to 7726 (not a police line) and block the numbers straight away. You should also write to your MP and ask why we're flooded with these nuisance calls. Why can't we still report scam attempts directly through the police’s 'action fraud' form? Plus, why hasn’t the telephone industry rolled out Caller ID Authentication tech yet, which could cut down these scams a lot? Scam texts need forwarding to 7726 too. And if you get scam emails or screenshots of scam messages, send them for police investigation at '[email protected]'

Beware of people pretending to be from O2. They say they can give you 40% off your monthly bill but end up taking your info. Then they go and change your O2 username and password so you can’t get into your account anymore. Total scam!

Got a call from someone pretending to be "O2" saying I was picked for a special discount on my SIM. Then they send a one-time code and say not to share it with anyone, not even O2 workers. If you give them that code, they can get into your account and all your personal info. For sure a scam.

Totally rubbish scam try. Got calls loads of times from people saying they're from 'O2' using London, Manchester or blocked numbers, saying there's a 'special deal for our valued customers'. I haven't used O2 in more than 15 years, so this "special deal" must be for anyone, not just O2 users. Just ignore and block them.

He introduced himself as Harry Mitchells, but honestly, his accent didn’t sound British to me. I’m pretty sure it’s a scam. Going to report this number to the gov’s fraud hotline.
