Solved: Number piggy back

Shackers · ‎07-01-2021

I have just had a complete stranger call me to let me know that a telemarketing company from God knows where is using my number. Is there anything I need to do to stop this happening?

@Shackers

Not much you can do unfortunately apart from change your number.

If it's any consolation, they change the numbers they use regularly to avoid detection so they may not use it for long.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Currently using:
