Scam/Fraud
23 Oct 2023

Scam caller. Claim to be O2 calling as my network provider offering a special discount for being such a loyal customer. I'm not on the O2 network. I said I wasn't interested, hung up, and blocked the number.

Received call from this number from someone claiming to be phoning from O2 and as a loyal customer of O2 I was entitled to a special deal. I'm not an O2 customer. As this was the third or fourth call from 'O2', I asked them to confirm whether I was an O2 customer. He said yes. I asked him to confirm the name of the company he was calling from and the company registration number. He said he was phoning from O2. When I said I don't use O2 as my network provider, he said he also worked with other network providers. I asked again for the company name and he hung up.
