Phone number ☎️ 02086388996 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance originating from overseas scam centres, frequently posing as Virgin Media, O2, EE, or other major UK providers. Callers attempt to obtain personal details like email addresses, postcodes, and even bank information by claiming urgent SIM card replacements or contract issues. The number is often flagged as potential scam by mobiles, with no voicemail left and calls quickly terminated when challenged. Reported accents commonly suggest calls are made from call centres abroad, employing typical spoofing tactics to mask true origin.

2 yearsMissed the call since it went on for ages, didn’t pick up.2 yearsThey keep ringing me but never leave a voicemail. When I tried returning the call, the number didn’t come up on my phone. My phone even marked it as a possible scam, so I just ignored it.2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were Virgin/O2, telling me they were sending a new sim within a few days but needed to confirm I’m the account holder by checking my email. When I asked why they needed my email, they just kept dodging the question and kept pushing for it. They rang back later wanting the same info. I checked with O2 and they confirmed they never make direct calls asking for that kind of stuff.Virgin2 yearsI usually don’t pick up calls from unknown numbers, even if they pretend to be someone I know. They could just send a text instead, but that hardly ever happens.2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with Virgin Media, but it was definitely a scam.Virgin Media2 yearsThey said they were from O2, but I reckon they just guessed from the beginning digits of my phone number.2 yearsSecond time around, and they still aren't the sharpest! Honestly, next time you answer, just chat away without sharing any details - see how long you can keep them going and rack up a hefty phone bill. You could make it more amusing by pretending to be from 'Such and Such Police Station's Confidential Hotline'. Give it a go and say, "How may I assist you today?" for a laugh.2 yearsGot a call that looked like it was from a London number. They said they were from O2, but it turned out to be a scam, probably from some call centre in India. Pretty dodgy!LondonIndia2 yearsI tried calling the number back, but it just said it wasn’t recognised.2 yearsGot a call from someone with an Indian accent saying they were from O2, but it definitely felt like a scam.2 yearsThis number pretends to be from London but it’s actually coming from abroad. They use spoofing to make it look like a UK call. It’s a common scam tactic. They say they’re from o2 or similar, but they aren’t. They try to get your postcode or email to supposedly send you a sim card. I told them they should already have my postcode since they have my details. They said they still need me to confirm it for security. I asked them to give me one letter and one number from my postcode and I’d fill in the rest. They just hung up. Take care, this is dodgy stuff.LondonUK2 yearsThey asked if there was any issue with my phone. I told them the only trouble I had was with getting fake calls. Then, the caller just ended the call.2 yearsGot a call saying they were from O2 or Virgin Media, warning me that my phone would be cut off in a week. They then tried to get my bank info. I accidentally gave them two numbers, but the second one was actually wrong!Virgin MediaO22 yearsThis number keeps ringing me, today it said it was VirginMedia. I hung up straight away so I don’t really know what they wanted to sell, but it definitely smelt like a scam to me.Virgin Media2 yearsI usually ignore calls from unknown numbers, and since this one didn’t leave any voicemail, I’m guessing it’s just another spam call.2 yearsTotally a scam, don’t fall for it!2 yearsI got a call saying they were from o2, warning that my SIM card would be blocked soon. As soon as I ended the call, they called me back straight away. I didn't pick up and ended up blocking the number.2 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be O2, saying my SIM would be blocked soon because of some “technical upgrade”. They tried to sell me a new SIM with like a 30% discount or something. After I ended the call, they rang me back two times in less than ten minutes.2 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be O2, saying if I don’t pay my bill soon my line will get blocked. Total scam, don’t fall for it!2 yearsI tried ringing back after I missed this number, but it just said “number doesn’t exist” or something like that. Strange!2 yearsGot a random call from a number I didn’t recognise and decided to ignore it - definitely sounded like some dodgy cold call or a scam.2 yearsGot a call from an unknown number but didn’t answer it. Didn’t ask for the call.2 yearsI was thinking about switching to their service but I’ve decided I’m just gonna stick with my current provider.2 yearsI had a rather peculiar phone call from someone purporting to be from O2 Virgin, insisting that my SIM card was about to be deactivated and attempting to arrange for a replacement. I simply told them to go ahead and block it, as I’m not with O2 Virgin anyway, and that they were welcome to send another SIM if they liked. They persisted in questioning who my actual provider was, which I reiterated was none of their concern. Eventually, they claimed it must have been a mix-up on their end. Quite the dodgy encounter, if you ask me!O2 Virgin2 yearsLoads of calls from strange numbers ring my landline all the time, but my mobile doesn’t get much of that, apart from this one call which showed up as a scam. Unsurprisingly, they left no voicemail. I reckon it’s just Virgin pulling their usual nonsense again, especially now that O2’s under their control.VirginO22 yearsGot a call on 18th July from someone speaking with a strong Indian accent claiming to be from Virgin 02. They told me my sim had expired and that I needed a new one. Then they said they were going to put me through to the accounts team. I didn’t trust it, so I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.Virgin O22 yearsTotal rip off, watch out!2 yearsI got a call from 020 8638 8996, some bloke saying he was Mark from Virgin Media O2, but he had a strong Indian accent. He said I needed a new sim card. When I told him it sounded like a scam, he kept insisting it was legit. I then said I actually work for Virgin Media O2 and that I’d already reported the number as a scam. That was when he just cut me off.MarkVirgin Media O22 yearsReceived a rather irritating call from a call centre, with someone asserting they were representing O2. However, as soon as I requested them to confirm their identity, they abruptly terminated the call.2 yearsThey rang me but ended the call straight away, so I decided to block the number.2 yearsCalled me thrice today!2 yearsSomeone said they were from O2 and wanted to talk about my contract. But as soon as I told them I don't have any deal with O2, they just hung up straight away. Bit suspicious if you ask me.2 yearsI got a call saying I was eligible for some kind of EE promotion. They asked for my email to send over the info, but it felt a bit dodgy to me. I'm pretty sure it's a scam.EE2 yearsSomeone rang me saying they were from Virgin Media and O2, talking about a new super sim coming my way for free and a 30% discount for a year. Their accent was really hard to follow, sounded like Indian or something. Thankfully, a supervisor joined the call and I could make it clear to her to get lost when they tried to ask weird security questions. Then they just hung up. Hopefully she got the message!Virgin MediaO22 yearsGot a call from O2 or Virgin Media, sounded like one of those dodgy telesales deals. They kept going on about “your SIM” or something, but the minute I said I wasn’t with them, they just dropped the call. Pretty sus if you ask me.O2Virgin Media2 yearsGot a call from o2, looked like a scam to me. Best thing to do is just block and ignore it.2 yearsSomeone rang saying they were from O2 and had a 25% discount deal on my plan, but they didn’t know my name, where I live, or what my current bill was. Bit dodgy if you ask me.2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they're with EE and that my signal's not working properly. Bit sketchy if you ask me.EE2 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be from O2, but as soon as I answered, the line just went dead.2 yearsGot a call at 11:01 in the morning on 12th July 2024. It was a woman on the line but her English was so bad I couldn’t make out a single thing she said. She sounded like she might’ve been Indian or something. Kept mentioning something that sounded like “Eau Naturale” or whatever. I just gave up and ended the call.2 yearsSomeone said they were from EE but I just ended the call right away.EE2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with O2. They told me I had filed loads of complaints about poor signal and billing issues. I replied that if they were truly from O2, they’d be aware that none of this was true. After that, the person mumbled something I couldn’t catch (probably not English) and just ended the call.2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be O2 billing, but it turned out to be a scam. Watch out!2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were Sky, trying to sell me a 30% saving on my bill, but you could tell it was just some overseas call centre messing about.Sky2 yearsI've received a rather dodgy call from this number. Not quite sure what to make of it.2 yearsSome bloke said he was calling from Virgin Media but I just told him he was lying and then ended the call.Virgin Media2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from 3, saying they'd heard about signal problems and wanted to check if I was experiencing any. Problem is, I don't even use 3 as my network...2 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be EE. They said EE was giving out a 30% discount on bills and wanted my details to "apply" for it. That's when I realised it was dodgy. EE has never rung me up before; they always send emails if there's an offer and never ask for personal info over the phone. Not a great experience at all.EE2 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be Virgin Media. Thing is, I switched my number away from Virgin ages ago, so they really should’ve known that. They wanted me to change my SIM so I could get a "replacement," but it just didn’t sound right at all. Definitely seemed like a scam to me.Virgin Media2 yearsI got a call saying they was from Virgin Media but the line was really bad, sounded like it was coming from some dodgy call centre far away. I could hear quiet voices in the background. The person kept saying “madam, please wait, just listen to me”, but I told them no thanks, not interested in their offer. They haven’t called me again yet.Virgin MediaMadamSubmit Your Own Report (020 8638 8996)
