The number appears as Manchester Craft Centre but looks like an O2 scam; the caller identified herself as Sarah from O2, so I hung up.
Scam Alert: Bogus O2 Reps!
Summary — +441618324274
Expert Opinion
In the bustling streets of Manchester, where local numbers often mask ulterior motives, reports highlight persistent calls from this line spoofing a craft centre's identity. Callers pose as O2 representatives, like one claiming to be Sarah, to lure victims into scams—think bogus account issues or upgrade offers. Silent pick-ups suggest they're probing for active lines to target later. Block immediately and report to Ofcom or Action Fraud; never share details. Enable call screening on your phone to filter unknowns, and consider apps that flag spoofed numbers. Staying vigilant curbs these nuisances before they escalate.
