Someone claimed to be calling from O2 regarding mobile services. It sounded completely fake so I told them I would report the call and ended it.

DID NOT pick up the phone. Looked it up here and I'm glad I trusted my instincts on this one.

Caller repeatedly rings and claims to represent our mobile provider but they cannot even say which company we actually use. The conversation makes little sense and the accent is difficult to understand. It strongly suggests a scam attempt.

Caller spoke about loft insulation upgrades and possible savings on heating costs. It sounded like a scripted cold call rather than a legitimate company.

  • Automatic scam number blocking

  • Call recording for safety
  • Trusted person monitoring

Phonely's digital landline was built specifically to protect vulnerable people from nuisance and scam calls. See how Phonely protects your home phone or compare the best digital landline UK.
