Phishing scam! Pretending to be O2, asked me for one-time security code (sent to me by O2 because they were trying to hack into my account at the time!) Then hung up immediately when I said this doesn't sound genuine

Number rang this afternoon after researching accommodation in Sheffield.
Fraudsters based in India promising a 50% deal on what you pay for your phone plus a brand new one. After your bank account details to scam you. I called the person out on this and they told me to ‘go fcuk myself’ DO NOT BELIEVE THEIR DEALS THEY WILL EMPTY YOUR ACCOUNT.
Sheffield based telephone number advising they are calling from Carphone Warehouse. I asked the man to remove my details from his database and he disconnected the call.
Knew my name and said were calling about a new mobile/SIM deal. I ended the call and blocked the number
Answered call, stayed quite, call ended? Weird
Rang off without leaving a message AVOID... They probably want you to call back on their premium rate phone line....
Called twice. Left no message. Blocked contact.
Didnt answer, being a nuisance and extremely persistent so blocked the number.
Said they were car phone warehouse with a new deal for me.
Rang off as soon as I answered but redialling and it says its Sky Telecom
weird
