Hi. 
I understand this is perhaps not a technical call, but there was no logical selection for the question.

Today, I received a phone call on my mobile from an 07451 283174 number. They claimed to be offering me a cost reduction in my monthly plan. I am always wary of these cold calls, but it just so happened that I also received a otp via message from O2 at the same time. 

I told the person I couldn't take their call and they are calling back later on today. Not that I will take or give any offering over the phone, but I would like to know if O2 have a campaign with the lower cost offering?

 

Or, Is this a scam.

 

Thanks

Take note of the warning sent by O2.

You will be surprised at those that don't.

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