Hi @Morty57

You did well not listening to him. Do not take out any contract over the phone. Just block the number and if you want to report it via this route https://www.o2.co.uk/help/everything-else/digital-family/nuisance-calls-and-texts

If you look here it has been reported a number of times https://who-called.co.uk/Number/01615072862

Probably a so called trusted partner of O2. They actually aren't to be trusted at all as they will try and sell you a business contract.

You did right hanging up. I think it's shyster business practice claiming to be O2, block the number and as you say, people need to be careful.

@Morty57 Well handled, and please heed the advice of the others. General rule of thumb is never agree to anything from a cold caller, no matter who they say they are. This applies to all cold calls from anyone purporting to be from any company.
