Expert Opinion

This morning, a call from +442080798057 surfaced across several reports, all pointing to a fraudulent scheme masquerading as O2. Callers typically claim hefty discounts or urgent account changes, then push a one‑time security code via text to capture your 2FA. Never share authentication codes or personal details with unsolicited callers, even if the number appears to belong to a known provider. Block the number promptly and forward the call‑log and any texts to 7726, the industry‑wide spam‑reporting service. Verify any genuine O2 contact through the official website or app before acting, and consider enabling carrier‑level spam filtering for added protection.
