Expert Opinion

In the quiet hours of an evening, reports surface of unsolicited calls from this number, often posing as representatives from O2 or Virgin Media. Scammers claim your SIM card or phone number faces deactivation, urging you to act quickly by providing details or accepting a new SIM. Hang up immediately if you receive such threats—genuine providers never warn of sudden disconnections over the phone. Block the number straight away and report it to Action Fraud or your network operator to safeguard your account. If concerned, contact O2 or Virgin Media directly using verified numbers from their official sites. Staying vigilant helps curb these persistent nuisances.
