01618841240 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618841240 👆 is reported as a persistent source of scam calls, predominantly impersonating well-known companies like O2, Three, Currys, and PC World. Callers often claim to offer discounts or contract upgrades, seeking personal details or verification codes, which may be used to access accounts fraudulently. The calls frequently feature poor English and end abruptly if questioned. They do not leave voicemail and often use multiple numbers, making blocking less effective. Many users advise not to answer unknown numbers, verify calls through official channels, and avoid sharing personal information or codes. This number is widely recognised as fraudulent and linked to aggressive and harassing behaviour, so caution is strongly recommended. Reporting to phone providers and blocking is advised to reduce contact.

This company keeps ringing me from different numbers over the past few weeks. They claimed to be from O2 and said I could get 50% off if I gave them a code. Turns out, it’s a complete con. Don’t fall for it!

O2 has been really annoying and it's starting to feel a bit unsafe. Their calls just don’t stop and it’s getting out of hand.

Got a call from some bloke calling himself Jonathan, said he was from O2’s discount team. While we were chatting, I got a legit text from O2 with a code. He then told me to read out the code to him. I’m pretty sure they were trying to use that code to hack into my account or change my password.

I got a call from someone saying they were with O2, and while I was still on the phone, they sent me a couple of texts promising 30% off on contracts. I looked up the number here, and when I mentioned it’s marked as spam, she kept insisting she was really from O2. I wasn’t having any of it and told her I wouldn’t be taking it any further since the number shows as spam. Ended up blocking it after that.

Got a call from some bloke with a thick accent, saying he worked for networks like Three and O2, offering a deal on iPhones. It was pretty obvious he was just blagging it since I don’t even have a contract with any provider. Definitely a scammy call.

Had a call from some lot claiming I could get 30% off my O2 contract, said they’d send a text but warned me not to show it to anyone. I thought it sounded dodgy, maybe a scam if O2 actually called me afterwards 😂 I played along for a bit but got fed up just before I got the text, so told them I wasn’t even with O2 - then they just hung up. Fingers crossed they call again 🤣

So this number first called me and I could barely understand the person cos their English was really bad, then they switched to saying they were from Vodafone and tried to scam me. I’ve blocked the number now, no way I’m falling for that.

Someone called saying they were from O2 and offering me a 30% cut on my phone bill. After a while, they let me speak with their so-called "supervisor" to confirm the offer. But really, this person was just trying to gather info - stuff like my date of birth, full name, email and address - so they could sell it somewhere dodgy. Don't trust them and definitely don’t share any details!

CAUTION: CLEARLY A SCAM ALERT! I received a call from a chap whose command of English was rather lacking, and his accent suggested he might be from India. He claimed he could enhance my mobile contract. Out of curiosity, I decided to engage him a bit and fired off a barrage of questions regarding my existing arrangement, my provider, and the monthly fees (of course, I provided utter nonsense). After some back-and-forth, he suddenly mentioned I'd need to fork out £50 upfront for the upgrade, and that someone would ring me to collect my payment details. He was keen on obtaining all sorts of personal information. At that juncture, I promptly ended the call.

Completely dodgy business! The bloke on the other end claimed to be from O2, trying to entice me with an early upgrade. His English was appalling, and he sounded like he was reading off a script. I politely declined, ended the call, and then I reached out to O2 directly. They had no clue about the number I'd received the call from. Seems like a right scam to me!
