weird phone call from someone claiming to be from O2

Moments ago I had an unusual call from someone claiming to be from O2.

the man said that O2 provides a 30% discount for customers who pay their bills on time.

Strange, I never heard that before?!

I replied that I pay by direct debit so my bills are always on time, and, i found it confusing that O2 would call me about this.

but before I could add that I found it strange that O2 never gave me such a discount for this always-timely payment, the man hung up the call suddenly.

A moment later, the same number called me back -but didn't say anything- just dead air.

I hung up the call. I have blocked the number.

 

Anybody else experience this sort of thing?

I consider myself pretty adept at smelling dodgy content instantly and that call reeked of a scam.

Well know scam trying to get your account details

Provided you did not give them any information you will be OK

Forward the number to 7726 and block

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.
