08009020217 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number âïļ 08009020217 ð is reported as a genuine O2 Payment Management contact number used for billing enquiries and payment issues, particularly regarding direct debits. While many users confirm its legitimacy and have successfully resolved account matters through it, others warn of sophisticated scams mimicking the number via texts and calls, often involving fake direct debit cancellation messages aiming to steal banking details. O2 states it does not initiate unsolicited payment calls, and the number may connect to outsourced collections or support teams, sometimes with poor customer service. Users are advised not to respond to unexpected calls or texts requesting personal information and to verify suspicious communications directly with O2 through official channels. Reporting scam attempts to authorities is strongly encouraged to aid disruption of fraudulent activity.
Reports on phone number 08009020217
8 monthsGot a random call from some "Internet service provider" trying to sell me stuff. Not interested, cheers!10 monthsThis was from O2, nothing dodgy about it. I actually used the number to settle my bill, so it’s legit.10 monthsDefinetly a scam, not really O2. When you call back it just links you straight to dodgy people trying to con you.10 monthsI've called that number quite a few times myself, pretty sure it's O2.1 yearI thought this was a scam at first and even tried calling it with my mate, but turns out it's actually a legit O2 number. Still, it gave off some sketchy vibes. O2, you might wanna sort out something better so it doesn’t look so dodgy.2 yearsEvery few months we get these fake O2 bills through our door, always for the same amount, £1,279. I reported this number and the scam to O2 about a year back, but it’s crazy to see it hasn’t stopped. Today I found two identical letters in the post, just like the ones from last year. Really hope the police, banks, post office, and companies work together to catch these scammers and get them behind bars.2 yearsGot a letter about paying off debt from some collectors, even though I’d already been conned earlier.2 yearsGot a letter saying to call this number about a bill I supposedly owe. Thing is, the account was set up without my permission, bank’s already been told and all. They’ve already put in a fraud claim.2 yearsGot a call from O2’s billing team but I’m not even a customer with them. Hung up quick and slapped on a block.2 years+44 8009020217 !!! I rang O2 support twice, but the first call dropped halfway through! Spoke to a lady about two calls from MOPH .ON. Was trying to figure out if these were genuine O2 payment questions or scams. Both times, the O2 advisors told me they never phone customers about their accounts!!! Really glad I gave them a shout. Scam prevented ðŦð022 yearsI trusted the number because 02 assured me it was totally safe to pay through, but it turned out to be a scam. They never received my payment, yet they still slapped a £6 late charge on my bill. The money’s definitely left my bank. Honestly, you should think about switching to a different network!O22 yearsHad a call from someone claiming to be O2, saying I could get six months free service. Seemed suspicious straight away, especially when they couldn't tell me my name. The accent was clearly Indian, so I figured it was a dodgy call centre. When I questioned them, they ended up getting quite rude. Definitely a scam in my book.2 yearsI've been getting some intrusive calls, and they keep pestering me for my bank information. So frustrating!2 yearsI've had multiple calls from them requesting my name and email address, claiming they want to offer me a 30% discount on my phone plan. They keep attempting to get in touch, and it’s quite puzzling since they initially reached out to me for this information.2 yearsClaiming they’re from O2 when they actually say they’re Three, not sure which mobile company they’re actually with.3 yearsYep, this is really from O2 - it’s their number for overdue bills. I had a bit of an issue with my most recent payment. When I looked at my bank account, the payment had somehow bounced back for a reason I couldn’t figure out. O2 sent me a text from this number, just like they’ve done loads of times in the past. I rang the number and used their automated system to sort the payment. It went smoothly, no hassle at all. They took the money I owed and lifted the block on my phone straight away.3 yearsGot a call from this number and it directed me to a recorded message, like one you’d get from O2’s top-up service. It was prompting me to add credit or punch in my card info. Strange thing is, this number has never contacted me before about topping up. I usually just dial 4444 to do it myself. Honestly, the whole thing felt off and really suspicious to me. Definitely smells like a scam.3 yearsI got two calls really close together saying they were from O2’s payments department. Since I don’t even have an O2 account, I’m pretty sure it was just a scam.3 yearsAffirmative. This is the O2 Payment Management Squad reaching out.O2 Payment Management3 yearsHonestly, I was convinced it was some kind of scam at first. My bank actually froze my card until I got a chance to talk to them. After looking into it properly, turns out it was actually 02 contacting me about a system upgrade.3 yearsGot a dodgy text claiming my DD was stopped, with a link I definitely didn’t click. I rang the number back and the call seemed to be from somewhere in Asia. The person on the other end didn’t say they were from O2 and I couldn’t make much sense of what they were saying. Ended up just hanging up straight away.Asia4 yearsAt first I thought it was a scam, but it turns out it was legit. I rang up O2 using their usual customer service line, and they told me the text was genuine but had gone out by mistake.4 yearsI work for O2 and can confirm this is legit and safe. The messages are coming through because they're updating their system. Your old direct debit gets cancelled, but don't worry, a new one is created automatically in the new system!4 yearsI’ve received this call a couple times now and just ignored it, didn’t bother answering. Has anyone tried contacting their bank or O2 to check if it’s legit?4 yearsJust like a few others mentioned, got a call from someone claiming to be “O2” saying my Direct Debit had been stopped by my bank. Total scam, be careful.4 yearsBloody scammers just after your bank info, don’t trust 'em!4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they were with O2, but it was totally a scam. Watch out, it’s just spam!4 yearsGot two texts from my bank saying they’ve stopped the direct debit to O2. Bit annoying, wasn’t expecting that!4 yearsGot a text from "o2" using this number, but it’s a fake! Definitely not from O2 - watch out for scams!4 yearsGot a text from 02 telling me my direct debit was off - total scam, don’t trust it!4 yearsCalled by the Payment Management Team - seemed legit to me.Payment Management Team4 yearsWhat a dubious message! I noticed I hadn't received any prior texts from this '02' number, but I felt compelled to check my banking app to confirm my direct debit was intact. The message read something like: "Your bank has informed us that your direct debit has been terminated. Should this be a mistake, feel free to contact us on 202 to reinstate it. If you’re having difficulties with payments and need assistance to ensure your service continues, please don’t hesitate to ring us on 0800 902 0217. Cheers!"4 yearsI got texts from this number twice today saying they were from O2 and that my bank had stopped my direct debit. Real O2 messages always come from O2UK, but these dodgy people have the number as O2-UK. Definitely a scam! I’m going to block them for sure and won’t be calling back 0800 902 0217. Total rip off ðĄO2UK4 yearsGot a text saying my bank stopped my O2 direct debit. It looked pretty legit. Seriously, don’t ring that number back!4 yearsGot a text saying it’s from o2, claiming my bank told them I’ve stopped my direct debit. It asked me to ring a number. Total rubbish. Definite scam. Don’t fall for it!4 yearsGot a text saying my bank has stopped my O2 direct debit. It looked proper legit but be careful, don’t ring that number!4 yearsThis number shows up on O2’s site as being for their Payment Management department. I checked the O2 website myself and it’s definitely connected to them.O2Payment Management4 yearsJust received a message indicating that my standing order with O2 has been terminated. How peculiar! ðĪŠ4 yearsI had to block this number, kept bothering me!4 yearsI got a message claiming to be from O2 saying my bank had stopped my direct debit and to ring 0800 902 0217. It was definitely a scam. I didn’t bother calling the number.4 yearsNo clue who that could be.4 yearsDon’t fall for this, it’s definitely not from o2, it’s a scam. The message looks pretty convincing but a bank won’t just cancel a direct debit without you authorising it. If you get a text saying your bank has stopped a DD, always double check with your bank directly. Whatever you do, don’t ring that number!4 yearsGot a text saying my bank told them my direct debit is cancelled. They want me to ring 202 to sort it out if it’s a mistake. Also, if I’m having money trouble and don’t want my service cut off, they’ve got a number 0800 902 0217 to call. Just a heads up, this isn’t really O2 - it’s a scam.4 yearsGot a message from this number saying my direct debit was cancelled. I haven't called them back as it sounds dodgy to me. I’m just going to block the number now, seems like a scam.4 yearsGot a message recently that looked like it came from O2 UK (if you’re an O2 customer, you might get these texts) saying something like “your bank told us your direct debit’s been cancelled” and that you can fix it by calling 202 or 0800 902 0217. I checked and that second number seems to be linked to O2. Ended up forwarding it to O2's phishing report line just in case.O2 UKO25 yearsAn 02 staff member at the shop told me to give this number a ring as it’s supposedly the payments department.5 yearsI just spoke with 02 and they said this number is actually a scam, so it’s best to report it.5 yearsI got a call from 02 saying my direct debit was cancelled and to call 08009020217. I looked into the number afterwards and found out it's just a scam. So glad I checked before ringing back!5 yearsgot a call from 02-uk saying my bank had stopped my direct debit. they told me if it was a mistake, i should ring them back on 202 to sort it. they also gave a number 0800 902 0217 to call for help if paying is tough, so the service doesn’t get cut off. cheers.5 yearsGot a call saying my direct debit got cancelled and to ring 08009020217. Definitely a scam, don’t fall for it!5 yearsGot a message saying it was from 02-uk, but it’s definitely a scam. Watch out for it!O2UK5 yearsReceived a dodgy call earlier, so I picked up, but the other end went silent and hung up on me.5 yearsGot a text on me phone saying something like: “Your bank informed us your direct debit is cancelled. If there’s a mistake, ring us up at 202 to sort it out. If money’s tight or you’re off the grid, just call 0800 902 0217 for help.” Sounds dodgy to me since I don’t even have an account with O2. Definitely a scam in my book.10 yearsIt seems that O2, much like numerous other large corporations, farm out various segments of their operations. The 0800 number we encountered was almost certainly linked to one of their call centre partners. These third-party representatives operate on behalf of other firms, which could explain why the automated message fails to distinctly mention "O2." However, it’s well acknowledged that these callers ought to clearly identify themselves in some capacity. Furthermore, enhancing their customer service skills appears to be an area needing significant attention, as reflected in the comments above!O210 yearsEarlier today, on the 31st of October 2007, we received a call from this number. It turned out to be related to O2 promotions as we were exploring options for a contract phone. The callers mentioned they would persistently ring us until we communicated otherwise, but we were hesitant to divulge our names until we had a clearer understanding of who we were dealing with.10 yearsThis number has been incessantly ringing my phone, and it’s driving us utterly bonkers! Every time we pick up, it’s just silence on the other end. I have a sneaking suspicion it’s O2 up to their old tricks-a right bunch of scammers and con artists! Honestly, I’m seriously thinking about lodging a complaint with trading standards. What a shower!10 yearsWe've been receiving calls from this number for the last fortnight, but thankfully, we've resisted the urge to call back. The moment we did attempt to respond, there was complete silence on the other end. Quite the clever ruse, if you ask me! Clearly, this reeks of a scam!10 yearsIt appears to be linked to 02 collections, doesn’t it? These chaps start calling you the moment your payment is overdue.10 yearsIt's a total scam, really! If you come across this number, do yourself a favour and don’t bother picking up. If you call back, brace yourself for some hefty international charges that just keep piling up. All you’ll get is an irritating automated message telling you to wait endlessly - no real person is ever going to respond. Just a word of warning: steer clear!10 yearsI received a call earlier today. When I tried to ring back using the office landline, I found myself stuck in a queue again. One of their messages said, "your call is crucial to us. thanks for waiting," or something similar. After a bit, I finally got through to a lady who mentioned something about collection services. We decided to hang up straight away.10 yearsWe are affiliated with O2. Without a doubt, this must be a legitimate O2 number, intended for reaching the collections department. We employed a secure internal protocol to verify their identity, so it's virtually impossible for this to be a hoax in any way.10 yearsIf you give a bell to the freephone number 08009020217 using a mobile, as soon as someone answers, just leave the call open and stroll away. It’s a clever trick that’ll end up costing them, since calls from payphones come with a premium price tag.11 yearsIt seems quite likely that this number belongs to O2. We rang them back, and the hold music was unmistakably their usual tune. However, I’m at a loss to understand what they were after; we were kept in limbo for around five minutes. When these folks were reaching out to discuss a contract, it feels like they really don't share information well, as I already have a current contract in place. So, it stands to reason that this number might either be one that O2 uses for various purposes or a potential scammer trying their luck.11 yearsWe recently received a call from this number, and the moment we answered, there was nothing but silence on the other end! Absolutely strange!11 yearsThis number has called us on two occasions so far, yet they haven't uttered a word. It’s rather frustrating, especially given that many of us also have jobs to attend to. I've gone through the various comments here, and a big shout-out to the folks who have contributed. Unfortunately, we can't engage with them either at this moment.11 yearsI've noticed that this number for O2 is a toll-free callback line. It's typically used by their Collections department, although occasionally, it might also come from customer service, customer relations, or even their security team. So, if you happen to miss their call, you can ring them back without any charge!Collections12 yearsI received an outgoing call from O2’s customer service.O212 yearsI've noticed it's from O2 Collections. They tend to ring you up for various reasons, whether it’s to remind you about an overdue payment, to get a direct debit sorted out, or even just for a polite catch-up regarding your account.12 yearsI received a call from them recently, so I decided to give them a bell using my home phone. It struck me as quite dodgy, really. The message I got back was something along the lines of, "Your call is of great importance to us, and I shall make it a priority to return your call at the earliest opportunity," but they didn’t even bother to mention the name of the company. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!12 yearsIt seems like this number is likely linked to a collections agency. Since we're a bit behind with our bills, we suspect they're reaching out on behalf of O2 to chase up any outstanding payments. Ultimately, it’s probably best to give O2 a bell to clarify things, just to be on the safe side and ensure nothing’s been overlooked on your invoice.12 yearsI keep receiving calls from this number on a daily basis. But for what purpose? Every time we pick up the phone, there’s silence on the other end. Quite frustrating, isn't it?12 yearsWe received a phone call this afternoon that interrupted our sleep, so we weren't really paying much attention. The gentleman on the line did mention our full name, but then he asked us to confirm our address. Since we've recently relocated, we provided the first line of our new address. To our surprise, she said it didn’t correspond, and that she needed to discuss our account. Naturally, we wanted to know which account she meant, but we didn’t catch the name clearly. It didn’t quite sound like it was from our bank (Halifax) or our building society (Newcastle), so I’m not overly concerned at this point.HalifaxNewcastle12 yearsI received a call from this number today, and after repeatedly hearing "hi" uttered about five times, I realised there was nobody at the other end. It was quite perplexing, so I decided to hang up. Initially, I thought about returning the call, but then I stumbled upon all this information and thought better of it!12 yearsHad the same number ring us thrice today, 26/11/07. When we finally managed to answer, they promptly disconnected! Gave them a bell back using a landline, and it asked us to hold because 'your call is valuable to us.' Yet, there wasn't a whiff of who they actually were. Quite mysterious, really!Submit Your Own Report (0800 902 0217)
