Phone number ☎️ 02086388714 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number impersonating major UK phone providers such as O2, Virgin Media, and sometimes BT or Sky. Callers often claim a need to replace or upgrade mobile SIM cards due to supposed company takeovers, urging recipients to provide personal information like email addresses or passwords. Many report the callers having Asian or Indian accents and displaying pushy or aggressive behaviour, including abusive language if challenged. Attempts to verify details should be resisted, as genuine providers do not call unsolicited asking for sensitive data. Users strongly advise ignoring or blocking the number immediately and reporting scams to official agencies like Action Fraud. Engaging with these callers may lead to phishing attempts or malware risk.

2 yearsGot a call from this number saying I was due for a new SIM card from O2, which confused me since I don’t even use their service. When I questioned it, the person on the other end just rudely told me to go stuff myself. Proper cheeky!O22 yearsSpoke with an Indian accent and said they were calling from O2.2 yearsGot a call on my phone from a man with an Asian accent claiming to be calling from O2... something felt off so I ended up hanging up straight away.2 yearsA guy with an Asian accent called claiming to be from O2 and said he’d be sending me a new SIM card, asking for my email - which I naively gave him. He told me I’d need to create a new password and sent an email to guide me through it. Just as that happened, I got a Microsoft OTP text I never asked for. I ended the call straight away. The email looked pretty legit, and I stupidly clicked a link to change my password, which took me to a different website. I quickly shut it down. After that, the same number rang me three times in about ten minutes, but I didn’t pick up.Microsoft2 yearsAnswering random cold calls is just plain daft. If you happen to click on any links they send, you might end up with nasty malware on your phone or laptop. Honestly, anyone who does that should get their device scanned ASAP. Good security software, like Norton 360, can usually spot dodgy sites and links on both computers and mobiles. Plus, there’s the Action Fraud area on police.uk where you can report phishing scams properly - it’s well worth checking out.NortonAction2 yearsI got a call from this number today. Normally I don’t pick up if it’s someone I don’t know, and after reading the reviews here I’m really pleased I didn’t answer it.2 yearsI got a call from someone saying they were with O2 and said they were taking over Virgin Media and needed to send me a new SIM card. They asked me to confirm my email address, but I wasn't having any of it and told them to quit with the scammy phishing calls!Virgin Media2 yearsJust got a call from this number, some woman with a foreign accent claiming she was calling from O2. She tried to tell me she could knock 30% off my contract. I told her I’m already tied into a contract, so no chance. Then she asked if I wasn’t with O2, and at that point I just hung up, muttering a few swear words because I didn’t have the patience for another scam attempt. I’ve blocked the number and left a report here - hopefully it stops others from falling for this O2 impersonation scam.2 yearsGot a call from a bloke speaking really quickly who said he was with 02. He was asking for my email so he could send me a new 02 sim card to swap out my Virgin one. I wasn’t keen on sharing my info though. He kept insisting that there was nothing to worry about with my email. Honestly, he was way too insistent for my liking.Virgin2 yearsSomeone just rang me telling me they were switching me over to a new system and all I needed to do was update my password to the one they gave me. I never changed it but they keep calling nonstop. I’ve decided to block the number now.2 yearsThe moment they brought up Virgin Media, I was sure it was dodgy. I told them I wasn’t a customer of Virgin or O2 and called out the scam straight away, then they just hung up. I’ve blocked the number since.Virgin MediaVirgin2 yearsGot a call from an Asian woman at first, then she put me through to an Asian bloke. He said something about my Virgin sim being blocked in a couple of days because of an 02 transfer. Claimed they needed to check my info to send a new sim and get me a 30% discount. I told him they already had my info, just send the sim and sort the discount. Then he kept pushing for my email address but I wasn’t giving it to him. Proper persistent they were!2 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Asian accent saying she was from Virgin Media. She said my SIM card had to be replaced because it’d get blocked soon. I asked if she was really from Virgin, and she said yes. But I know O2 deals with the mobiles, so I called her bluff. She started trying to argue, so I just ended the call. She rang back immediately, and I couldn’t hang up properly. After the call dropped, I’m going to block the number. Just thought I’d share this in case others get the same call.Virgin MediaO22 yearsThis guy had an Indian accent and was really hard to understand. When I asked where he was calling from, he just wouldn’t answer.Gentleman2 yearsGot a call from a lady who sounded Asian, chatting about my O2 phone. I don’t even use O2. Ended the call and blocked her number straight away.2 yearsIf you want to cut down on scam calls, everyone needs to report every single one. There's a message a few posts down that says to send the scam info to 7726 by text. They might get back to you and ask for the details again. Also, have a look at the Action Fraud site run by the police, it's pretty useful.Action Fraud2 yearsSounds like a call from a sweatshop in the subcontinent. Got really rude when I asked about that O2 scam stuff. Proper dodgy behaviour.2 yearsGot a call but no message was left. I blocked the number and reported it as a scam.2 yearsI just ignored it, seemed like a total scam.2 yearsGot a call from someone saying my mobile sim was going to be switched out and stop working in just a couple days. They said they were with BT, but when I phoned BT myself, they told me that’s not true and nobody from them had contacted me at all today. Seemed like a total scam to me.BT2 yearsThese nuisances just won't quit, ringing me several times throughout the day! It's absolutely infuriating.2 yearsThey presented me with a bargain for an O2 package and subsequently requested that I verify my email address, date of birth, and a few other details.2 yearsGot a call claiming I needed a new SIM card from O2, which is funny since I actually work for O2. Total scam, so I just blocked the number.2 yearsSomeone rang me saying they were from O2 or Virgin, something like that, and told me I had to get a new SIM card. They asked loads of security questions but I didn’t give them any info, so they just hung up on me.VirginO22 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be with O2 saying there was an issue with my phone number and wanted my email to sort it out. I just told them to buzz off and ended the call. Not long after, the same number rang back, so I let them talk for a good five minutes without sharing anything, then told them to leave me alone and hung up once more. I've blocked the number now.2 yearsSomeone called me earlier pretending to be from Virgin or O2, trying to sound official. Pretty fishy if you ask me!Virgin2 yearsGot a call from this number claiming to be Sky. They started off all friendly asking how I was, then quickly assured me my contract wouldn’t be affected or anything. That made me feel fishy, so I cut the call. They rang me again shortly after but I just ignored it. Definitely feels like a scam to me.Sky2 yearsPeople doing scams from India are the worst. If you get any dodgy calls, make sure to text 7726 to report them, just like the police Action Fraud site says for phishing. Don’t let these scammers get away with it!Action Fraud2 yearsWhat a nasty scammer, just disgusting really.2 yearsGot a call from a number I didnt recognise so I just let it ring out. Checked it here and turns out its a scam. I’ve blocked it and reported already.2 yearsThey had an Indian accent and just ended the call abruptly.2 yearsWARNING - DROP THE CALL IMMEDIATELY Got a call from a woman speaking with an Asian accent, talking about my O2 contract.

Something felt off, so I quickly hung up.2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be O2, said they had a discount.
