Cold called and claimed to be from Compare the Network. Seems like O2 have been passing them details of customers who are out of contract to try and get them to renew. They didn't have the recent info that I had switched provider so must be working from old lists. Pleasant enough fellow and didn't push when I refused to comply with him. Not a scam per se but an annoyance.
