Expert Opinion
Fraudsters often recycle telecom brands to snag your details, yet this lot can't even nail the accents. Calls from this number mimic O2, BT, or Carphone Warehouse reps with dodgy English, pushing for verification codes via text that they'd have you recite back—classic scam ploy to hijack accounts. Hang up instantly; never share codes or personal info. Report to Action Fraud or your provider to block and trace. Enable call screening on your phone for peace of mind, and consider apps that flag unknowns. Stay sharp—genuine firms won't demand codes over unsolicited calls.
