Telecom Scam Alert: SIM Swap Tricks
Summary — +447311819771
Expert Opinion
Never answer unknown calls from unfamiliar numbers—let them go to voicemail to screen out nuisances. These reports show a pattern of telecom impersonation, with callers posing as Virgin Media, O2, Vodafone, Sky, or EE to extract personal details like emails or security codes for fraudulent SIM swaps. Hang up immediately if they push for info; don't engage. Block the number straight away and report to Action Fraud or your provider to help curb these pests. Recording suspicious interactions aids investigations—stay vigilant, especially if you're elderly or tech-wary, as they target vulnerable voices.

I received a call from 07311 819771 from someone posing as an O2 representative, claiming that Virgin and O2 had merged and that a free replacement SIM would be mailed to me. He followed up with a text containing a one‑time security code, insisting I insert the new SIM once it arrived and that the old one would be deactivated. I hung up and ignored his subsequent call‑back attempts.
