Swapping from Carphone Warehouse

[JordanW]

I have had a call from 0344 826 0202 saying they want to change my contract from Carphone warehouse to O2. He offered me a brand new iPhone 12 at no cost. It sounded too good to be true. I said can I have this in an email and he said no. Has anyone else had this?

Never upgrade from a cold call.

Always call O2 directly as you can't be sure if it's a scam otherwise.

They've also deliberately tried to make the number look like a genuine O2 number which is 0344 809 0202

Thanks for the info guys. The caller knew exactly what I was paying per month and had some details so sounded very convincing
