"Said they were O2 and wanted to give me money off my bill if I gave them personal details"
"Seemed like they were pretending to be O2"
"Didnβt get far into the convo before I blocked and hung up. They said they were from O2, but I told them that's not how O2 would reach me, as the number didnβt show O2's name on the phone screen. I told the caller not to get in touch again. Then they went on to call me two more times."
"Marketing call from 02. They said that my contract was finished and wanted to give me some offers. I'm not with 02 and told them I don't have a contract ending. The caller kept trying to sell me something."
"Said they were from 02 and Tesco mobile, told me that my sim will expire soon"
"Said it was 02. Only wanted my email, but they were very pushy so it didn't seem right"
"Said they were calling from 02 but hung up when I told them I wasnt a customer"
"He called himself Tony Garcia, but he had an Indian accent. Maybe possible, but not likely! Also, he said he was calling from O2. As I don't use O2, it was obviously a lie."
"Said they were calling from 02."
"not the actual o2, fake scam, wanting you to pay money"
"Called me to say they were from O2 about my sim card becoming invalid in a couple of days and asked me to confirm my details. I said no and they hung up. Called the number and itβs invalid so itβs clearly a scam."
"Rude, kept saying that I had an o2 sim and that i had forgotten and then went ahead to 'cancel it' on the phone as I wasn't being compliant. He also kept telling me that I was being recorded, by whom, I would love to know?!"
"Said they were pretending to be O2."

"Same as another poster - They said they were calling from O2 to upgrade my sim from 4G to 5G (already on 5G). I asked them to verify the name of the person they were trying to reach. They just said they would send an activation code that I needed to provide. When I asked again, they couldn't confirm - Scam."
"Said they were from O2. It's not my network, so I hung up and blocked them. I heard they told others different networks, so they are clearly lying. Probably because my number used to be O2. With people using PAC codes these days, the starting numbers don't always match the provider."
"Caller said they were from O2 offering new 5G sim card. I told them I would be in with my Grandson who was 6ft 4ins and a boxer there was silence at the callers end so they hung up."
"Said they were O2 and a new 5g SIM card would be sent to replace the 4g one"
"Said he was with O2 phone company. Wanted to save my number to ring me when I didn't want to talk to him. Maybe a scam. Either way, it wasn't professional. I've blocked him."
