To all members beware of a scam , saying that your current sim will be cancelled in 48 hours and you need to apply for a new sim card so you can receive 5G all over country and you are entitled to a 30% discount for the duration of your contract the number they use is 0141 4619984.

The best thing is the call says it from Glasgow, so I asked where are you calling from they said the 02 centre , so I say where in the uk they London, how come its says Glasgow then scammer they ended the call.☎️

I think if the number is obviously spoofed I would not report it, simply block. Genuine people are now having their number come up as possible scam 

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.
