Tried to call back and the line was dead. Possible scam from reading previous comments. Yes O2, EE BANKS ETC won't call you. Stay safe out there

Scam/Fraud
01 Mar 2022
I have called twice on the this number, both times the man claims to work for O2. The man told me I was eligible for a discount on my monthly tariff. I received a message from O2, giving me a security code that I did not request. O2 have confirmed that they never call people to ask them about their account or upgrades. They also use 02089581219. DO NOT acquiesce, just hang up!
