Scammer, claiming to be from O2 offering me a discount on my contract. Tried to gain access to my O2 Online account by wanting to "send a discount code" by text to my phone, which of course would be the 2-Factor authorisation code to access the online account. The one O2 specifically tell you not to give to anyone!
