AI Summary
Based on 6 community reports
Calls from this London number are linked to a mobile network impersonation scam, with callers pretending to be from providers like O2 or Three, claiming to offer contract updates or upgrades. A telling sign reported by one caller was that the scammer didn't know which network their target was actually on, asking them to reveal it themselves — a clear giveaway that these are not genuine provider calls. Others describe requests for bank details, repeated calls with no name given, and difficulty understanding the caller. Do not share any personal or financial information with this number, and do not confirm which network you're with. Hang up immediately and block the number.
