Anonymous Spam Mobile Network Scam (EE, O2, Three, Vodafone) 2 days ago

Caller from Truro (in India) said they wanted to send a new 5G SIM for O2. They asked me to check my number was with O2, then quickly wanted me to do a survey about my "recent" O2 service. There was just one question - "is the service ok?". Then i was put through to a man, who had a bad Irish-ish accent. When I asked why O2 were sending a new 5G sim, I got put back to the Indian woman. I got annoyed and ended the call after they asked for my email address.
