100% scam, when challenged for the O2 system they got my information from I was told to f*** off, call promptly disconnected

Scam/Fraud
16 Jul 2025

Claimed to be O2 and wanted to give me a new sim card. I refused to share the 6 digit codes on the texts they sent. Wanted them to prove they were who they said they were. Made 4 different attempts to which I insisted I would not share any infor till they prove they were O2. Eventually called O2 and they confirmed they were scammers as there were no records of the said calls. Also the text msgs didn’t fall onto the other O2 msgs I have received before.

Caller: Lisa and Sandolson - sounded Asian but these are certainly not Asian names.
