Scam?

Sharons24 — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 10:50:59 GMT

I have just received 2 phone calls from this number 02034104737 saying they are from o2 offering me a reduction on my monthly bill.

I have had numerous calls recently from very similar numbers to this offering me a brand new iPhone all inclusive for £30 per month.

Each time they send me a text with a one time code to access my account. I am suspicious of this so end the call. Does anyone know if this number is genuine. Thank you
