O2 scam. They say they have a large offer for you, then ask you email address. The next step is they ask you to try log in, which will prompt O2 to send you a code, they ask you for that code, and if you give it to them, bingo, they have your account. Stay safe.

Saying they were from 3g ... apparently I'm a "loyal customer "
Asian sounding male saying he’s from O2 Claims he can more than half my contract and massive discounts on the latest phones. I replied I don’t believe he is from o2 and can he provide me with the last 4 numbers of the other phone on the same contract and give me the name of the account holder….there was a stutter and he hung up
Spam call claiming to be my phone provider, but they guessed wrong.
Sounded like a call centre. Completely unable to understand a single word said. Ended call assuming it was a scam.
Foreign call centre with multiple chatter in background. Told me he was calling from O2 and he was offering me a 230% (??) discount on my first 6 months and did that sound good?! I said yes it did. He asked me for my number and I read the member they were calling from back to them. He said that was wonderful and then asked for my contact and payment details! Clearly script reading and a scam. Blocked immediately and reported.
Introduced as 3 mobile
From your network provider. Was a very noisy call centre!
