The caller purported to be from Sky UK Ltd, promising savings on my existing charges due to their poor service delivery and the hassle it caused. Suspecting a con, I declined politely and ended the call, but the same number rang back right away, with the person saying the connection failed. This repeated seven more times, prompting my partner to pick up amid my health issues and the anxiety it sparked; it required another five attempts for her to overpower the bogus Sky rep's interruptions, finally persuading him after a draining dispute to back off and cease the harassment.
O2 impersonation scam – how to spot the red flags
Summary — +442039898556
Expert Opinion
Earlier this week, a wave of calls claiming to be from O2 left many feeling pressured to upgrade or verify details. Callers typically warn that your SIM will stop working unless you act, offer unrealistic discounts, and use heavy accents or scripted speech. Never share personal or account information over the phone unless you have initiated the call and can confirm the number independently. Block the number on your handset and consider adding it to an official call‑blocking service. Report the incident to Ofcom or the Information Commissioner’s Office, and remind friends that legitimate providers will never demand urgent action via unsolicited calls.
