This is NOT CUSTOMER SERVICES, there is nothing anyone on this customer to customer forum can do to help you

 

Not sure why you are going to a shop to sort this out.


If you have been the victim of fraud you need to wait for that investigation to be completed and o2 are not allowed for legal and regulatory reason what is going on, as you could be complicit in the fraud. 

 

Have you reported this to the Police at all www.actionfraud.police.uk or by calling 0300 123 2040

 

Also please remove your number from your post as you are liable for any fraud, spam or scams that are committed against you, as you have posted it on a public forum.

If you think you’ve been the victim of fraud – whether it’s because you’ve given details to someone over the phone, or clicked on a link in a suspicious text or email there are things you can do:
Contact your bank if you think you may have given out financial information. They can help protect your account and stop transactions.
Change your account and online account passwords. Not just your O2 account. All of them.
Forward fraudulent texts to O2 for free on 7726.
Contact Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040.
Call your Virgin Media or O2 customer services number if you think somebody’s taken out a contract using your details.
Virgin Media customers can phone 150 from their landline or 0345 454 1111 from any other phone.
O2 customers can call 202 from their O2 phone or 0344 809 0202 from any other phone.
You can block the number that called you, or any number you think may be suspicious.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
