Said he was from Carphone Warehouse and then when I said I don’t need a new phone he told me to f*#% off!! 😡
Got a call twice from this number. Answered the second time and hung up as soon as I heard his accent and when he mentioned something about carphone warehouse. Obvious scam.
Fraud. Told me had qualified for 50% off my o2 contract and to read a code that was sent by text. Hung up and called o2 who confirmed was fraudulent. After I hung up I immediately had 2 other calls from different areas which I assume was linked
Call received to say he was from the three network and that they had a promotion on iphone 13 for £45 per month, asked what happens to my current contract and he said hes company will pay it off as part of the promotion, explained that i am already with three and cannot upgrade until next year, he then hung up.
Broken English scammer. Offering iPhone deal. Hung up when my husband spoke to him. Blocked
Called me today saying they're from O2 and I had received 30% off for the remainder of my contract as it's o2 37th birthday and the network were rewarding customers. He said I'd receive 2 security texts and to stay on the line and let him know what these numbers were...sounded suspect. I asked if they were calling from O2, surely they could process a discount without the need for a security code - he said the security code as actually a promo code (more suspect) I said I would call O2 directly and speak to an advisor, the chap offered to give me a head office number (probably his scamming centre), I however declined and ended the call. Very suspect - I would advise you don't engage.
Didn't answer call but not from a number I recognized.
They hang up when I answer. Now blocked
Said he was from a fraud company - clearly scammer, blocked
