01268 208026

this number calling saying there o2 and that you have over paid …they have your usual details like name , address, D.O.B, email etc so I thought was legit but then we had an argument when he asked for my password over the phone … just a head up incase some people think it’s legit.

Thanks.

Just another twist in the ongoing scam saga.

Almost certainly spoofed but block and forward the number to 7726
