"A man named Mark said he was calling from O2 (but I'm not with them). He told me that because the networks are joining together, my sim will stop working in two days. When I told him I didn't belive him, he told me to f* off. I don't mind scam calls, but they weren't this rude twenty years ago."

"Pretended to be O2 Virgin Mobile wanting me to verify my email and saying they would send me a new chip for my phone since all O2 customers need to deactivate old chips and register new ones. 🙄 He got really angry when I said I couldn’t open the email link because I was at work. 😡"

"The first caller said he was from EE. They were going to send a replacement SIM because mine would be switched off. They wanted my email to check I owned the account. I told him it was a work phone and I wasn't the account owner. The second caller (same number) asked who my provider was. Seemed like there was some confusion in India!"

"Said they were from my phone provider saying that my SIM card needed to be updated, but they didn't know my name and asked for my address. I told them I would get a SIM in store if it was necessary. No notifications from the provider online or through text."
