AI Summary
Based on 5 community reports
This Manchester number has a perfect spam score of 100/100, and all community reports flag it as a scam. Callers appear to use a couple of rotating scripts — one impersonates O2, claiming your SIM card is expiring or being deactivated, while another offers fake Sky discounts. The SIM scam is particularly concerning, as callers attempt to harvest sensitive personal details including your address, email address, and date of birth under the pretence of sending you a replacement SIM. This is a classic data harvesting tactic that can lead to identity theft. If this number calls you, hang up immediately and do not provide any personal information. Legitimate network providers will never cold call you to request personal details in this way.

They called about a Sky discount, but I don't have Sky.
Called to say my sim card was being deactivated and I needed to confirm my address, email and date of birth for them to activate my new one and send it to me.
