Phone number ☎️ 01642988657 👆 is reported as a scam operation impersonating O2, targeting individuals with false offers of discounts, free devices, or gift hampers. Callers often pressure recipients to provide one-time passcodes, a practice genuine O2 staff would never request. The scammers display aggressive or evasive behaviour when questioned and sometimes send texts from official-looking O2 accounts to appear legitimate. Victims have reported unauthorised charges and unwanted long-term contracts. Background noise and silence during initial calls are common tactics to prompt callbacks. Recipients are advised to never share passcodes and to independently verify any offers through official O2 channels before engaging further. Blocking the number and ignoring unsolicited calls is strongly recommended to avoid falling victim to this fraudulent scheme.

3 yearsI've been getting calls from them as well, yet they never bother to leave a voicemail. Quite peculiar, really!3 yearsBe cautious! The folks contacting you are definitely not O2; they're con artists! Never share that one-time passcode they send to you. They lured me in with the sweet offer of a complimentary tablet in exchange for that code.3 yearsI chose not to pick up, seemed like it could be a scam.3 yearsReceived a call from someone pretending to be O2. Total scam!3 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be from O2, an Asian gentleman, trying to persuade me with a discount. When I mentioned that I would pop into the shop instead, he became quite irate and insisted that I wouldn't receive the same deal there. Quite odd, really!3 yearsI put a stop to those dodgy callers.3 yearsJust had a dodgy call claiming to be from O2. Sounded a bit fishy to me!3 yearsI received a call from someone purporting to be from O2, and they seemed to have all my banking information at their disposal. I fell for the ruse and consented to an upgrade, believing it was genuine, which resulted in £30 being taken from my account. Once I got the emails, I found myself unable to access the links, so I called O2 directly to verify. To my dismay, they informed me it was indeed a fraudulent attempt.3 yearsReceived a call from a number in Middlesbrough, purporting to be from O2 and claiming I was eligible for a discount. They requested I verify whether I was indeed with O2. I thought to myself, if you’re genuinely calling from O2, wouldn’t you already have that information? It felt a bit off, so I decided to hang up.MiddlesbroughO23 yearsGot calls from some dodgy numbers, but I just blocked em all. No time for scammers!3 yearsThe person on the phone said they were from my mobile network, but when I asked which company they were actually working for, they named a completely different one. Seems a bit dodgy, probably a scam.3 yearsGot a call from this number twice. The first time, there was loads of noise in the background but no one actually said anything, so I just ended the call. The second time, an Asian woman answered, asking if I was okay today. I told her I was eating lunch and asked who she was with, but she just cut off the call. Seemed dodgy to me, probably a scam.3 yearsI received two calls from this number. On the first occasion, there was a cacophony of background noise, but no one uttered a word, so I decided to terminate the call. The second time, I connected with a woman of Asian descent who inquired about my well-being. When I mentioned I was currently enjoying my lunch and requested clarification on the source of her call, she abruptly disconnected. I suspect this might be a fraudulent call.3 yearsGot a call from 01642988657 from someone saying they were with O2. They asked me for a one-time passcode, which I know O2 would never do. The bloke promised me a free tablet, but instead he put me on a 3-year contract with a phone I neither wanted nor liked. What’s worse, I can’t even afford the payments. He mentioned a discount bringing it down to £13, but the bill ended up being £83. Really watch out for this!3 yearsBeware, mates! Someone's posing as O2 and fishing for a code. Definitely a con artist at work!3 yearsI’ve just received a rather suspicious call from this number, claiming to be affiliated with O2. The caller was requesting a code they supposedly sent, asserting that I was selected for a half-price offer on my bill. When I mentioned that I intended to contact O2 directly to verify the information, the caller suddenly became quite frantic, urging me not to call O2 because I might not reach the right person. This only raised my suspicions, so I decided to terminate the call. Best to steer clear of this number!Submit Your Own Report (01642 988657)
