Spam Phishing - 40% discount on monthly bill for a year

GNut23 — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 11:50:42 GMT

Just received a call from a so called O2 representative on a private number, claiming that it's for a satisfaction survey and that I've been selected to be a "promotional" customer receiving a 40% discount on my monthly bill.

They ask for your email address and then send you a "Discount Confirmation" email to activate the discount. You'll receive an email from noreply@myo2acount.store (with "account" spelt incorrectly...) which of course goes straight into your spam folder.
