Has anyone else had a call from this number, very dodgy pertaining to be from O2 and offering an account discount, they then sent an SMS with a one time code (message below), I didn't go any further and ended the call.

*SECURITY WARNING* The one-time code you requested will arrive shortly. If someone's calling you and asking for a code, please end the call because they DO NOT work for O2. If you suspect fraud, call us on 202 so we can protect your account.

*Be alert to fraud* NEVER share this code, including with O2 staff. Help us protect your O2 account. To retrieve your My O2 account, enter code 963910.

Never respond to any offers over text message, phone call offering the dream deal,  one off, never to be repeated offer, ends in 10 minutes!🙄

this is my philosophy @Harry2022
