I was recently called by 073080 353863 regarding a free upgrade from 4G to 5G sim.
They asked for my email address (which is odd as O2 have had my address for years) and said i needed to open the email and verify the link while he was on the phone. He also if if i remembered my User Name and Password. I am guessing this is a scam to get into my account.
If someone could please acknowledge this and also hopefully this will assist others to avoid it....
Thank you,
Steve.
