Indian male voice-said they were O2 and wanted to talk about my account and future discounts.-I am not with O2. I Hung up. Then received text headed "SECURITY WARNING" with a 'one time' code that I (hadn't) requested. Also told me to call 202 if I suspected a fraud and not to share the code with anyone-including O2 staff!! (So that my account can be protected....!!)
