They first called me on March 31st but I never picked up. When I tried calling back, it just led to an automated message. Even though I’ve blocked the number, they’ve managed to ring me four times already. Quite annoying!

I got a call from someone pretending to be 02, saying I could get the latest iPhone 14 with unlimited everything for £30 a month, no fees at all. When I told them to call me back later, the bloke sounded pushy and a bit annoyed, like I was wasting his time. I’m already an 02 customer and know there’s no way to get that deal without an upfront cost. Totally don’t trust it - feels like a scam. They even tried to sell me broadband too. I rang 02 afterwards and they confirmed I’m not signed up for any new phone deals.

This number has called me twice already and I have no idea who it is. It’s been non stop and I’m pretty sure it’s some kind of scam. Someone should really report it!

This number 01618502940 called me a couple of times but I didn’t answer. Just a heads up, might be best to block it!

They called from O2, trying to pitch me a contract sim with a phone included. I played along for a bit, asking for their top-tier deal and signing up for the lightning-fast fibre broadband. The monthly cost? A whopping near £100! 😂 Can’t wait for them to ring back so I can give the bank info - if only I had it on me right now!

Got a call supposedly from Switch Experts, asking for a person who’s not me. Told them they’d got the wrong number, but then they pushed and asked who I was instead. They’ve rung me about six times over the past couple of days. Just picked up another call, same story asking for someone else. I told them to take my number off their list, but they said that’s not possible and I’d have to unsubscribe - even though I never signed up at all. So, I've blocked them now.

They ring me like three times every single day. I never pick up, and after reading these reviews, I’m really happy I don’t. What a pain, definitely a scam. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.

Had a call from a lady first, I said hi, then she handed me over to some bloke pretending to be from EE saying I’d just taken up a phone deal. I just blocked the number straight away.

I got two calls from 0161 850 2940 today, didn't pick up either time and just decided to block the number.

Got a call pretending to be from o2, but you can hear loads of noise like people chatting in an office right in the background. Definitely a scam.

This number has been ringing me loads of times, saying they’re from O2. I kept telling them to stop calling, but they just wouldn't listen. Ended up blocking them in the end. Just a heads up, they sound pretty convincing, so watch out!

While I was in the middle of getting a new SIM package sorted, I got a call from someone claiming to be from “02”. They were super polite and started telling me what I needed to do next, asking for my bank info. Everything seemed legit at first, but then they asked for my CVV, which felt a bit off. When I tried ringing them back later, the number just wouldn’t connect.

I got a call from 01618502940 after I was looking into phone contracts yesterday. They claimed to be from O2 but honestly, their accent was all over the place. Right away, I felt something was off. They managed to convince me to buy a Samsung S21 with unlimited plans for £26 a month. After checking my emails for the past day, it seems I’m just getting a SIM-only deal in the post tomorrow, no phone coming at all. This has to be a scam - I’m planning to cancel the SIM as soon as it arrives. Feels like they’re just after some sort of commission. My advice? Stay well clear of them.

01618502940 gave me a ring after I was looking to get a contract yesterday. They claimed to be with o2 but honestly sounded dodgy right away. From the get-go, I wasn't convinced. They talked me into a Samsung S21 with unlimited calls and data for £26 a month on o2. Now, based on the emails I've had over the past day, it looks like I'll only be getting a sim-only deal in the post tomorrow, no phone whatsoever. IT’S A TOTAL SCAM (Once the sim arrives, I’m cancelling it straight away - doubt they’ll earn any commission from me, which is probably their only aim anyway). Would NOT recommend dealing with these lot.

01618502940 Yesterday I tried to sign up for a contract, and then this number rang me claiming to be from O2, but honestly, they sounded really sketchy. I was suspicious straight away. They "sold" me an unlimited plan with a Samsung S21 for £26 a month. Judging by the emails I’ve gotten in the last day, I’m expecting just a SIM-only package to turn up tomorrow, no phone at all. PURE SCAM (As soon as I get the SIM, I’m cancelling it immediately so they probably won’t see any commission - I guess that’s all this is about...) Avoid them at all costs.

Had a call from someone with a thick Asian accent, claiming to be from O2. It was pretty clear they were trying to scam me by asking for my account details. Definitely didn’t sound legit!

My phone flagged the number as possible spam, but I still picked up. All I got was some music, so I ended the call straight away and set my phone to block and report it. Funny thing is, a few minutes earlier I'd received a text pretending to be from O2 about an upgrade. Since I'd just upgraded like six months back, I didn't buy it for a second.

Got a call from some bloke pretending to be from O2. He was really impolite, sounded Asian, and told me not to do whatever it was again. I checked with O2 and they said it’s definitely a scam, so don’t hand over any personal details to these people.

Some bloke rang up asking for me by name. When I asked who was calling, he just ignored me and started going on about some money I’d put in and that he could get it back for me. Thing is, I’ve never put any money in anywhere like that. Told him to take me off their call list and he just hung up. Then he called again about ten minutes later, so I had no choice but to block the number. Even now, they keep trying to ring from different numbers. Proper nuisance!

They called saying they were doing a survey for the bank where I hold a business account and even knew my name. They said it was something my bank is legally required to carry out. Quite suspicious if you ask me.

As soon as I picked up, the call ended right away. Sounds like one of those automated calls just checking if someone’s there. Bet I’ll get another from some dodgy scammer soon enough.

Apparently, it was some sort of switch expert according to the automated voice on the line... guess I shouldn’t question it!
