weird phone call from someone claiming to be from O2

Moments ago I had an unusual call from someone claiming to be from O2.

the man said that O2 provides a 30% discount for customers who pay their bills on time.

Strange, I never heard that before?!

I replied that I pay by direct debit so my bills are always on time, and, i found it confusing that O2 would call me about this.

but before I could add that I found it strange that O2 never gave me such a discount for this always-timely payment, the man hung up the call suddenly.

A moment later, the same number called me back -but didn't say anything- just dead air.

I hung up the call. I have blocked the number.

Anybody else experience this sort of thing?

I consider myself pretty adept at smelling dodgy content instantly and that call reeked of a scam.
