stay away from giffgaff

giffgaff2025 — Sun, 13 Jul 2025 11:27:11 GMT

3 months ago i was arrested for 18 hours and had my electrical devices seized because giffgaff made a false allegation of harassment against me. at the police station it was said i had been calling giffgaff and saying i would blow up people that support Palestine. it is not even possible to call giffgaff and harassment is something that is done to a person. giffgaff is not a person.

the allegation has now been confirmed false, the case has been no further actioned.

no one should give giffgaff their money.

As stated, interesting and strange.

Can't see how posting here will help though, cathartic as it may be.

I wonder if the perpetrators simply spoofed your mobile number to make these alleged calls to giffgaff...?

Horrible to go through ....... @giffgaff2025 what @pgn says above makes sense to me ..... but ..... I'm a Permanent Novice re IT ... = ... have had a lot of help on this community with no-one talking down to me.

Went with O2 because a shop in town = face to face talk / speak.

"it was said i had been calling giffgaff" - stumbling point #1?

Unless they mean someone using your persona was hassling them on their forum or wherever, @giffgaff2025?

I got banned on the GiffGaff Forum after an ongoing dispute with the Mods a few years back.

The irony is, apparently GiffGaff is simply re-branded O2 as it runs on their Network....

@Anonymous

It isnt a rebranded o2, giffgaff is a Virtual Network that is owned by Telefonica, and is a separate entity to o2, all it does is use the o2 network...
Same as Smarty , Voxi or 1p Mobile who all use a host network..

And its giffgaff and not GiffGaff...
