I received a call from an unidentified number in Cardiff, Wales (029 2294 7286) promising 60% off of my phone bills. They said they were O2 and once I said I was "interested" they asked for my email. Once I gave a fake, they sent an email under noreply@o2promotions.shop, linking a site (https://s.id/O2-discount). That's as far as I've got and do not plan to go any further.
