2 yearsI reckon this number is trying to get into your O2 account. They’re quite clever about it - sending a security code straight to your phone in a text and then asking you for it. If you give it to them, they can get into your account for sure. It’s a scam, so don’t ever share that code with anyone.2 yearsI've gone ahead and blocked the number now.2 yearsKeeps ringing but no one leaves a message. I reckon it’s just spam or maybe some scam, so I’m ignoring it.2 yearsThey tried to tell me my O2 contract is due for renewal, but it’s not actually ending. I just blocked the number.2 yearsI picked up, thinking it was that company I talked to before, but the second I said hello, the caller just disconnected. After seeing the other comment here, I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number.2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with an O2-related firm trying to push phone upgrades and contract deals. Seemed a bit dodgy to me. When I wouldn't hand over personal info like my birthday, they just ended the call. I could hear loads of chatter in the background, like a call centre buzzing away. Plus, the call itself seemed to come from some computer dialling numbers at random. The caller was silent at first too, which felt pretty off.Submit Your Own Report (020 8149 0242)
