They sent an O2 code by text followed by calling pretending O2, but real O2 already on to them and send warning immefiately when fake code sent
Usual phishing, scamming time of day, no doubt. Called around 1220, missed the call, called them back to hear some sort of 1980`s "Poodle Rock" played after generic greeting. Hung up. No doubt if it's an offer I can refuse, they'll be baaack some other day.
said they were from automotive care - when questioned they hung up
Said from EE and could lower my monthly payments. Call centre and Asian voice. Said they were in promotion department and did not have access to my account details which is why he needed my bank details. Yeah right!
Hung up on me when I answered. Number blocked
Just got a text message from O2 with a security code I did not request. I then got two telephone calls from this number which I did not answer. I suspect they wanted me to give them the code so they can access my account. DO NOT ANSWER it's a scam
Missed call, only last few seconds so didn’t get chance to answer, probs a scam
I've no idea who owns this number but they obviously don't want to speak. They connect and just hang up.
Hung up before answering
