Random promotion call

[AF1]

Hi there - just received call from someone claiming to be from O2 and offering me 30% off my monthly tariff for next 12 months. Suspect this call is a scam but just thought I'd check!

You are right to be suspicious.

It's a well documented scam that seems to have increased in the last few weeks
