Solved: Is this spam, or really on behalf of O2?

I've just had this email arrive in my inbox. Is it actually a real survey on behalf of O2 @Toby?

Obvs I've not clicked on anything lol!

Ah thanks for that @Toby but do you mean email address?

ABA do/have in the past carried out market and customer experience research on behalf of O2. Not sure about any current campaigns so will leave that to Toby to confirm, but wouldn't ring alarm bells for me.

I work for O2, however any advice or opinion given in this community should be considered my own and not necessarily representative of Telefónica UK Limited.

Thanks for the input @Wa10 tbh it didn't necessarily ring alarm bells for myself, apart from the fact it's been a good month (that I remember) since I contacted CS.

It might be better if they'd used my name if it's real though, as that'd give me less of a reason to doubt it as well.

Yeah, I've had similar too.

I've had nothing from them and I dealt with O2 at the beginning of last month. Must be randomly selected?

Yeah I guess so. Mine came after I got the tablet for my lad just before Christmas and I've had them previously but can't remember what would have triggered those.

@Martin-O2 do you have an update on this at all mate? Still curious as to whether it was spam/scam or legit?
