Is 03303035325 a real O2 number?

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

Is 03303035325 a real number? I just got a call from "Ben", claiming to be from O2. He thanked me for being a loyal O2 customer, and offered me discounted tablets. I was concerned because he couldn't offer me the discount at any other time apart from over the phone. It all sounds rather fishy to me. I'll err on the side of caution if I don't hear anything, but I just wanted to know.

Thanks,

Harry

Call cs yourself to check - never upgrade from a cold call.

@Anonymous  Googling the number comes back showing that other people have had calls from the same claiming to be from O2. Most likely what O2 laughingly calls a 'trusted partner'. As advised, never sign up to anything from a cold call, and call customer service if you wish.

Aye, I google that, too. At first I thought it was people being bitter over being cold-called.

But sure. Cool. Thanks for the help guys!

No worries mate - we would hate your next post to be one complaining about being conned into a contract you didn't want or need

Seems a lot of people are having the same issue...

I guess a "trusted partner" drumming up some business!

For sure...

I've had this number ring me a few times over the past week.

Have ignored it every time and now I've read this thread I'll be blocking it.

Thank You!
