Have I been scammed?

[Anonymous]

I received a phonecall about a week ago offering me a phone upgrade. They knew my address but, shamefully, I did furnish them with my date of birth. They said they were working for Carphone Warehouse. I was offered an iPhone 6 which would be confirmed in a week. Well. No email has arrived and no phone. No record on my O2 page. I have contacted Carphone Warehouse this morning but thought I would see if I wasn't alone, or if there was a slight possibility that it wasn't a scam and that my phone would arrive soon!

I've just spoken to CPW - it was a kosher company, but they've sent the phone to my old address - we moved recently! He says once the phone is returned then it will be resent out to my new address. PHEW! I will ring back in two days time for an update. Thanks for your advice guys!

Many reports of this scam and O2 are looking into it.
As long as you didn't click the links and fill in any further info you will be OK.

Yes these scammers are certainly working hard to rip people off over the Christmas/New year  period. Their own appalling type if seasons greetings I expect.

Edit. I notice from your last comment you say you had filled in your bank details? If I had done that I would be ready to contact my bank for their advice.?
