Same as the other reports - pretends to be O2 |Virgin Media tells me that my SIM has to be replaced - then tells me I am being transfered to the technical team.... at which point I exited the call...

They said they are from O2 and asked my email address. They are probably trying to hack gmail accounts.

'Mary' told me I needed a new SIM card as the Virgin Media and O2 merger meant my O2 SIM was going to be blocked in 2 days...and the new SIM card would give me 'Super 5G' and they would send it to me for 'free' Funny, as Virgin Media's own website says no one's SIMs etc will be effected...
