5 yearsHi there! I received a call from someone touting an O2 deal, and I unwittingly handed over some of my personal information, believing it to be legitimate. I'm now realising that it might have been a scam. What steps should I take to rectify this situation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!5 yearsHad a couple of calls from Manchester this morning, both from numbers starting with 0161. I don't know anyone from there so didnt bother picking up. The first one seemed dodgy so I blocked it straight away. Now this other one rang, I just blocked that too. Pretty sure it's just some scam or spam calls. Definitely not answering again!Manchester5 yearsKeeps calling over and over, then just cuts off.5 yearsI got a call from 01618500009 saying they were from 02. They said it was about a SIM card replacement after I supposedly filled out an online survey. It sounded dodgy, so I ended up ringing the actual 02 customer service. They told me they hadn’t received any such request from me and told me to just block the number. Definitely a scam!5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from O2, quizzing me about whether I’d been checking out SIM offers and if I’m tied into a contract with them. I told the bloke that if he’s really from O2, he should already know my contract status, and then I just ended the call and blocked the number. These scam calls are getting way too common now, honestly they should all just piss off.5 yearsThey keep ringing me but no clue who it is.5 yearsNo idea who this is so I’m just gonna ignore the call.5 yearsThey called me pretending to be from O2, sayin they could upgrade my plan. Thing is, I’ve never even had a contract with O2 before! Really strange situation. 🤷🏼♂️O26 yearsTried ringing but no reply. Glad I checked the reviews first though!6 yearsI kept receiving calls that I ignored for ages until I finally decided to pick up. Turns out it was O2 trying to sell me a SIM-only deal that they claimed would outperform my current plan. Honestly, I’ve got unlimited everything, so I’m not sure how they could improve it. I’ve decided I won’t be answering any future calls from them either, especially since the bloke on the other end was rather pushy about my decision.6 yearsSomeone rang me pretending to be from O2, saying I was eligible for an upgrade. I told them my contract was still pretty recent, so it didn’t make sense. Then they got all complicated, asking about the SIM cards in my two phones and kept pestering me for the SIM numbers. Even after I said I’d just call O2 on their official number to check, they wouldn’t back off. Pretty clear it was a scam. To their credit, when I finally told them where to shove it, they just said, “Alright then, have a nice day” and hung up.6 yearsI answered the call pretty quickly but it ended abruptly. Since other people have been asking about this number, I’m going to go ahead and block it, thinking it’s probably spam.6 yearsI picked up the phone to a woman claiming to be from O2, insisting I was eligible for an upgrade and asking for my account details. I refused, as I had only recently upgraded with them and could tell it was fishy. Now, I'm bombarded with texts letting me know I've won some competitions that I definitely didn’t enter, along with one from O2 providing a code that I’ve never asked for. I've reached out to O2, and it seems they’re experiencing a surge in these dubious calls and messages.6 yearsI got a call from someone named Clair Wilson offering to upgrade my O2 contract. I decided to ask if she was interested in filing a PPI claim since my info showed she might have some PPI owed. She didn’t really seem bothered about it, even though she could possibley get back thousands. She just wanted to chat about the O2 deal, so I ended the call.Clair Wilson6 yearsBeen getting loads of calls from 0161 850 0009 lately, and it’s really annoying. They never pick up or say anything, just this annoying ping noise before they hang up. Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve probably had about ten or more of these calls.6 yearsI received a rather dodgy phone call today from someone claiming to have a fantastic deal on O2. Let me tell you, the chap was incredibly pushy! He kept insisting on getting my email address to “verify” his identity, which immediately set off alarm bells. Even after I explicitly stated that I wasn’t keen and had no desire for any credit boosting - as he proffered - he just wouldn’t take no for an answer. It's beyond me how some people think we’d fall for such blatant scams!6 yearsThey kept ringing me like 7 times within just half an hour, but I never picked up.6 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with O2, but I don't even have any services with them. Definitely sounded dodgy.7 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from 02, offering an early upgrade for a small charge. Then they asked me which network I use. I told them, if you’re asking about an upgrade, shouldn’t you already know my provider? They seemed a bit flustered and hesitated, so I just ended the call there!7 yearsGot a call from this number, it rang a single time then tried again. No idea who it was and I didn’t want to pick up.7 yearsI'm receiving a barrage of phone calls from this number, and although I don't pick up, I'm quite curious about who it belongs to!7 yearsthey said i requested an 02 sim card but i never did. total scammers!7 yearsThis number called me for the third time, still pitching the same offer! Can't they get the message?7 yearsWhat a pain these calls are! I just don’t see the point in picking up, even if my mates from Nigeria are always joking about needing help to blow their 'fortune'! Never gonna fall for it.Nigeria7 yearsI didn’t pick up, probably for the best considering what other people have said.7 yearsWhat a total nightmare!7 yearsSomeone pretending to be from 02 tried scamming me.7 yearsHad no clue who it was when they called, totally confused.7 yearsI've been receiving persistent phone calls from this number every single day. It's becoming quite bothersome.7 yearsWatch out, these people are total con artists and really rude!7 yearsHavent got a clue who that was - pretty sure they were just scammers.7 yearskept ringing me all day, left a voicemail but it just sounded like some busy call centre with all the background noise. proper irritating!7 yearsGot two calls today but both times they hung up before leaving any message.Submit Your Own Report (0161 850 0009)
