Fraud call

[PD4]

I want to report a sales call from someone who said they were from O2 and wanted to offer me 30% off my bill. I asked them to prove they were from O2 so they said they would send me two O2 txt messages which they did. The first message was an O2 security alert and the second was an O2 code to reset my account! They described this reset code as my promotion code to get the 30% discount. Beware!
