calls from 020 3056 5479 / 5476

[Egmond]

Phone numbers 020 3056 5479 (and 5476).   

Getting calls from the above numbers but have missed both.  Brief online checks imply they could be genuine calls from O2, though the first number has been tagged as a possible scam source.   I rang one back later but no answer.   Please can anyone confirm that these calls are from O2?  Thanks.

Not ones I recognise at all.

Probably scammers.

Block the number and do not follow any links.
Forward the scam text or number to 7726 - It's free.

I would just ignore them as they are more than likely trying to sell you something and could be one of o2 (un) trusted partners. 

You can always contact o2 on 202 from your o2 phone and ask if they have tried to call you

Thanks and noted.

Thanks, I did actually try the customer services number but there was a 20 minute expected wait and I wasn't totally sure this is something they would know (partner numbers etc) so thought I'd ask other users.
