Genuine or Scam

egt — Fri, 16 Aug 2024 05:36:17 GMT

I've received 2 private message responses from 2 separate people both asking me to contact O2 on +44 7380 321 529

Is this a scam?, as I do not recognise this as an O2 number

I would not respond to any unknown number @egt

As they were both private messages here I'm asking

@Kei-M_O2 our Community Manager to contact you for their usernames

@egt It's a well known scam.

Forward the scam number to 7726 - It's free.

Other ways to report here including Action Fraud website:

How to block a number:

If you've given them any information, change your password. Not just your O2. All of them.

Notify your bank if you haven't done so already.

Not appearing on any reverse checking sites such as Who Called Me or True Caller.

Its a scam, noticed this is happening a few times, and starting to warn people in replies about Account information..

Scam 😠. I've banned the account and removed their posts.
