Possible scam?

SarahJayne — Fri, 26 Jul 2024 15:31:38 GMT

Hi, I have just received a phone call saying there was a problem with my sim card following the merger of o2 and virgin. I felt uncomfortable with how this was going so I hung up and decided to contact yourselves this way as I feel better knowing its coming from a legitimate source could you please tell me if this was a scam? Or if I do need to speak to someone about this.

Thanks

@SarahJayne

this will 100% be a scam do not give them any personal information and report the number to 7726. Also have a look at this guide

if they call back, just answer the phone and block the number on your phone

@SarahJayne You can block the number that called you, or any number you think may be suspicious.
