Why O2‑pretending callers are targeting you?
Summary — +442038976533
Expert Opinion
Recent patterns show a flood of calls claiming to be from O2’s billing or discount department, most of which exhibit classic spam traits such as poor English, aggressive upselling, and immediate hang‑ups. Callers often spoof the O2 prefix to appear legitimate, but they rarely provide verifiable account details. Protect yourself by letting unknown numbers go to voicemail, using carrier‑provided block features, and reporting persistent offenders to 7726 (SPAM). Never share personal or payment information over an unsolicited call, and consider a third‑party call‑filtering app for extra security. Staying skeptical and blocking early cuts down wasted time and potential fraud.
