Well known scam on here. They are trying to get access to your account, usually to order a high end phone.

Block the number and forward to 7726

That is the scammers number, surely that's good idea to let everyone know who the scammers number is to be aware ?

@Supermjj No it is not. Scammers change their numbers constantly.

It will be someones genuine phone number that has been spoofed. They will use it for a short while then move on

It is well documented on "Who called me" going back months. But i'll edit it out if you wish.

Phone number removed. Just a word of note they wanted me to reset my password temporary, they even sent me an e-mail which looked genuine from O2 to do so. But i said call back tomorrow because i wasn't ready to do it then, they said they would. Now blocked. First real scam on my mobile, my landline is all 99.9% scam.
