Received a text claiming to be from Coinbase about a 2FA change and urging a call to this number; I’m not interested in being scammed – Coinbase never texts.
O2 scam alert – don't bite
Summary — +442080585716
Expert Opinion
In the late afternoon bustle of Cardiff, a call from this London-based number often catches folk off guard. Reports paint a picture of persistent nuisances pushing dubious insurance for plumbing and drainage, or masquerading as telecom giants like O2 and even Coinbase via texts urging a ring-back. Silence greets some answers, while others face probing for bank details like sort codes – classic scam red flags. These aren't legit reps; they're likely fraudsters after your info. Best bet: never engage, block the number, and report to Action Fraud. If tempted by deals, verify directly with the company. Stay vigilant to dodge the hassle.

A call came in around 16:45 from the Cardiff area; I chose not to answer.
Potential scam – couldn’t work out who they are, mentions insurance and 02; mobile number blocked.
A persistent pitch about drainage and plumbing insurance tried to get the GB code from my bank statement – never heard of that. I pretended to look it up, kept the line, they lingered for twenty minutes then quit. Called back later from a different number, they didn’t buy my story. I finally said I wasn’t handing over any info and the line died. Shame, I was close to a decent discount, but oh well, mate
Seems to be fraud, claiming to be from 02.
