I recently took part in a 40 percent discount that has gone terribly wrong .The items that were to be delivered which included a new iPhone was going to cost me money so I refused the delivery. However, when I looked at my O2 account they had already taken the money from my account without my authorisation and included a monthly device plan which I never authorised and changed my tariff . This is completely horrific for me because I’m going to be spending a lot of money for my O2 bills which is what I’ve been trying to avoid. I’m so confused I don’t think there’s anything I can do . But I really would like a refund . What do you think I can do about it ?

You need to speak to O2 urgently and ask for the fraud team. All numbers are in this guide Guide: Coronavirus Community Help and Support
