Got a call from this number earlier today. A woman was asking to speak to Miss Joanna, but I have no clue who that is. I told her straight up and asked her to remove my number if she was trying to sell something. Pretty sure it was just a scam.

Over the course of two days I got four calls from two different numbers, 0191 743 7493 and 0800 743 7493. They claimed to be from O2 and were pushing some sort of 40% discount, which then bumped up to 50% the next day.

Watch out for people claiming to be from O2, they're scams! They’ll ask for your details but don’t fall for it - just block the number. Looks like they’re after hacking your accounts. Also, the caller spoke with a pretty strong Indian accent.

I got a few calls from a number with an Indian accent trying to sell me some O2 deal, but I’m not even with O2. I just blocked the number straight away.

Got a call from a number I didn’t recognise, didn’t pick up and they didn’t leave a voicemail either. After checking online, looks like it might be a scam.

Got a call from someone claiming to be with O2, trying to sell me a “fantastic deal”. The bloke had a really strong Indian accent which made it hard to catch what he was saying. While he was chatting, I quickly looked up his number and it flagged up as dodgy. Told him I knew it was a scam, but he just denied everything. I told him I’d block the number and to not bother calling again. Watch out for this one!

Got called back to back three times in less than five mins, but when I picked up and asked who it was, they just hung up. The caller said they were from my internet company, but yeah, pretty obviously scammers pretending. The number showed Sunderland on my caller ID, but it had that classic Indian scam call vibe - I guess these tech guys can make it look like it’s a UK number even when it’s not.

Got a call from someone claiming they were from Telefonica or O2, saying they were my phone provider and wanted to give me an amazing deal. Thing is, I’m nowhere near being with O2, so it was obvious it was dodgy. They tried this trick before using a different phone number. I ended up reporting it to Ofcom by texting 7726 with the message “call 0191 743 7493.”

This number keeps calling me and I don’t know who they are. When I tried calling back, a person with a really strong Indian accent picked up, so I just ended the call straight away.
