stay away from giffgaff

[giffgaff2025]

3 months ago i was arrested for 18 hours and had my electrical devices seized because giffgaff made a false allegation of harassment against me. at the police station it was said i had been calling giffgaff and saying i would blow up people that support Palestine. it is not even possible to call giffgaff and harassment is something that is done to a person. giffgaff is not a person.

the allegation has now been confirmed false, the case has been no further actioned.

no one should give giffgaff their money.

What a strange tale

Would love to hear more....

As stated, interesting and strange.

Can't see how posting here will help though, cathartic as it may be.

I wonder if the perpetrators simply spoofed your mobile number to make these alleged calls to giffgaff...?

Horrible to go through ....... @giffgaff2025 what @pgn says above makes sense to me ..... but ..... I'm a Permanent Novice re IT ... = ... have had a lot of help on this community with no-one talking down to me.

Went with O2 because a shop in town = face to face talk / speak.

"it was said i had been calling giffgaff" - stumbling point #1?

Unless they mean someone using your persona was hassling them on their forum or wherever, @giffgaff2025?

I got banned on the GiffGaff Forum after an ongoing dispute with the Mods a few years back.

The irony is, apparently GiffGaff is simply re-branded O2 as it runs on their Network....

@MrRichAllen1976 

It isnt a rebranded o2, giffgaff is a Virtual Network that is owned by Telefonica, and is a separate entity to o2, all it does is use the o2 network... 
Same as Smarty , Voxi or 1p Mobile who all use a host network.. 

And its giffgaff and not GiffGaff...
