Yesterday I ordered a PAYG SIM card. This morning I’ve received a fairly convincing scam call from +441618502959 (a known scam source number) who knew my name, telephone number, and that I’d just ordered an O2 PAYG sim. They also knew a couple of specific but non-sensitive things about my account.
I’ve seen other threads here where people have reported the same thing.
This was far too specific to be random and I’ve never received a similar call. I think that someone at O2 or one of their service providers is selling customer information to scammers. I suggest O2 should investigate this urgently.
