My o2 account was hacked at the beginning of September. I reported straight away and a fraud case was opened. They had opened 6 new lines on my account and made purchases on my account from Google Play.
o2 closed the accounts and closed the fraud case, however they didn’t remove a £275 bill. They told me to cancel all direct debits until it was rectified which I did. However they have now disconnected me until the bill is paid and I can not call 02 until bill is paid.
went into store and they said they can’t wipe the bill because they are Google charges so I need a code. Said it would take 5 days for the code to arrive but it never did.
I now have no phone line and stuck as to what to do. Google can’t help without the code.
