Upgrade scam?

03448260202 is this O2 or a client ie carphone warehouse??? Had a call from this number and they offered to pay the outstanding balance on my 5s (£100) if I upgraded now!
They knew my personal details and when my phone would be paid off by normal payments etc but is it O2?
If it's carphone warehouse they can run and jump!

O2#s contact number is 0344 8090202 so it's very similar, however, some report on Google that is is in fact CPW.

Yes I searched the number but the replies were inconclusive as some said it was carphone and others O2 so am trying to get a definitive answer 👍🏼😃

I think someone else said it was O2....certainly the last 3 digits seem to bear that out?

@Toby could maybe check.

The rest of us are just customers like yourself.

Surely it would be helpful in this day of phone numbers being seen as suspicious, if O2 were to stick to using one number for sales calls and make it public so people can be sure.
