Avoid sharing any codes; the caller pretended to be from a merged O2 and Virgin service, claiming 4G is obsolete and that a SIM swap required a code. He texted a request for the code, but sending it would expose your data. Never send a code to anyone.

Ever wondered why a call about upgrading your SIM card feels off? These reports point to a classic scam where fraudsters impersonate telecom providers like O2, pushing for a 5G switch that doesn't exist. The ploy involves tricking you into sharing verification codes via text, which lets them hijack your account and steal personal data. One caller even warned against 'fake' O2 calls— a dead giveaway. Stay vigilant: never share codes, hang up on unsolicited upgrade offers, and contact your real provider directly using official numbers. Block the line and report to Action Fraud if suspicious. Better safe than sorry with these phishing tactics.

A scammer with a foreign accent tried to persuade me to "upgrade my SIM to a new 5G SIM," despite my device already supporting 5G. After a brief exchange, they warned me about fake O2 calls and told me to hang up, which made it obvious they were fraudulent, and they hung up immediately.

A message was left in a language I don't understand, so I have no clue who it was from.
