What concerns me is that the email contained information about my email address, phone number, phone, its serial number and PUK code, contract details and monthly fee. The only company that knows all that info is O2. And that means that O2 have either given someone that information without my consent or it has been stolen from them. I am about to call them and ask for an explanation.
Ok so @Anonymous has said that the email contained his:
Email address......ok keylogger maybe
Phone number.....ok keylogger maybe
Phone type......ok keylogger maybe
But his phones SERIAL NUMBER & PUK code?
In most cases why would he type those on his keyboard? If he needed his PUK he would key that on his PHONE. And when would he need to type his phone's serial number? ??
I don't buy this. Simon will have the email so I am sorry o2 but if Simon and others are having this then it MUST be a breach inside o2

A keylogger runs in the background on a pc and will usually work when someone goes to a site and logs on...
It sees the following
..
..
Www.tsb.Co.UK
...
....
Sheldonfawkner2198
...
...
Password123
...
...
It now knows the username and password for that bank and will copy that page data and send it back to the scammer.
On an ipad it will see:

Nothing as the input is direct to screen with no input device to log.

Good god...an even more sophisticated scam then.... Not sure O2 can lay the blame elsewhere?
