"Said they were calling from O2 and Virgin Media. They said O2 would be turning off 4G and they needed to send a new SIM tomorrow and then stop the old one. They never wanted my address which seemed strange because I use pay as you go and O2 don't have it. A quick search online shows O2 aren't turning off 4G so it's a scam. I let them talk and the sim replacement ended up with them wanting to send a code for me to call back over the phone. I refused and they asked why. I told them I didn't trust the call and they sighed and ended the call."
