I’ve just had a message purporting to be from my child, claiming it’s their new phone number and asking me to text them there. It’s clearly a scam. Make sure to block that number and whatever you do, don’t respond or give them a ring. Stay vigilant!

One of my kids just sent me a text informing me that they've renewed their O2 contract, and this is the fresh number to reach them at.

On the 15th of Nov, I got this message saying “Hey mum, texting from my iPad now - I’ve just upgraded my O2 contract and changed my number, alright? x Hit me up at +447842049289.” Luckily I found this site and it’s clear as day it’s a scam.

Got a text saying, “Hey mum, it’s me texting from my iPad. Just upgraded my O2 contract and got a new number. Drop me a message on 07842049289, alright?” Bit odd, as I don’t have a child!

Just got a text from "mum" saying, "Hey, it’s me texting from my iPad - I’ve just changed my O2 deal and here’s my new number +447842049289". Total rubbish, obviously a scammer trying to trick people!

+447842049289 is a definite scam. Like loads of others have said, they act like they’re your child, saying they’ve switched numbers and all that. Then they try to get you to send them money. If you’re unsure, just message your kids on their normal phones and you’ll quickly find out they haven’t sent anything.
4 years
Don't fall for this trick, they pretend to be someone close like your kid or a mate and then hit you up for cash. I wouldn't bother chatting to them. If you're curious and wanna dig deeper, go ahead but just remember they're just con artists playing on your feelings. The number I'm sharing here is the one they want you to text. Stay careful!

Got a dodgy call claiming to be my daughter on an iPad (which she doesn’t own). Told me she’s switched her phone number - totally not true! Don’t click on any links they send through, it’s a scam for sure.
