Another anti O2 article in the Guardian today which proves interesting
I was drawn to this paragraph
O2 says customers can report suspicious calls from abroad by emailing nuisance@telefonica.com to allow it to bar the number on its network.
@Kei-M_O2 recently said they had been told there was no way to block the Armenian calls. O2's reply to the Guardian seems to suggest otherwise, although I suspect it was said to get the Reporter off thier backs
Still, might be worth taking a note of the email address

To be honest I do think this is someone either installing an Dodgy App which receives a call and then triggers a call out, as people just blindly accept all permissions when downloading Apps, or people get a missed call and blindly click on call back...
Normally I would take the Guardian's Journalistic Output with a pinch of salt, but o2 have provided a new contact email address... which us good to see ..

Yes true @madasaf1sh
Everything should be taken with a LARGE pinch of Himalayan salt because it's pretty pink 🙄
However good to be awake to these scams and the variety.

@madasaf1sh Yes, this particular journalist does post problems with O2 on a regular basis. I suspect that at some point they had a run in with O2's excellent customer service and this is their reward🤔
I did post for the email address but also questioning the disconect between O2 inferring they can block such numbers and what we have been told here
