I received a call from an unidentified number in Cardiff, Wales (029 2294 7286) promising 60% off of my phone bills. They said they were O2 and once I said I was "interested" they asked for my email. Once I gave a fake, they sent an email under noreply@o2promotions.shop, linking a site (https://s.id/O2-discount). That's as far as I've got and do not plan to go any further.

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.
