Is this a scam call

[gindygoo]

0800 952 4852 Hi guys, so I've had loads of missed calls from this number and after a Google search it's not clear if it's a scam or if it's actually o2? So I've answered it this morning, and basically told them to, ahem, bog orf!! Could anyone shed light on this number please?

Cheers,

Charlie xx

Yeah it's more than an annoyance, I've blacklisted them along with any near variation of the number.

Thanks again,

Its definately not O2. I have spoken with an official O2 advisor and its nothing to do with them. Very pushy sales team trying to flog tablet contracts and hung up on me when i questioned their validity of being o2

Hi @LexiDee ,

Sorry to hear that this happened. If you have any other info, be sure to send me a private message, as I can investigate.

I have also had calls from this number.

They claim to be from O2.

They know when I last topped up and how much I use.

Where did they get my info from?

Why hasn't O2 prosecuted them for steeling my account information?

Just block the number @Anonymous Also in My O2 you can opt out of getting these sort of calls in future via My Preferences

O2 have shared your info which you gave permission for unless you specifically opt out.

They didn't steal it. You agreed O2 could share your information with trusted partners. Change your preferences in My O2 under the 'other' tab.

OK.

But they are not "Trusted Partners" - they pretended to be from O2.
If they were "Trusted Partners" they should have said that they are Partners and that they are not O2.

I will block them.

Trust seems a one way street with O2. No one on here would say a good word about these partners who are renowned for misleading customers.

Blocking them would be my advice too mate.
