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!

It's a well-known scam that has been around for years, yet people still fall for it.

You are right to be suspicious.

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

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.
