What a time we live in. Seems like we have to spend half the day trying to decide if a text or call is genuine or a scam. Wish I could go back in time to when this country actually worked properly and you got what you paid for
I too remember those days. They will never change.
I remember the times when we could and would defend our borders . Great Britain was a white predominantly Christian country .
You could walk the streets without fear of being stabbed or shot
Such happy times !
@user-hq6bb1js3g Drake and Nelson protected our shores with wooden ships, cannon, cold steel and hearts of oak. I don't blame the navy but the politicians who have no belly for a fight.
You mean when OUR hardworking Grandparents wouldn't put up with the sh*t that is being thrown at us now? As kids, we were well looked after. As adults we need to stand up for our way of life and not allow, the globalist replacements, to rob OUR children of their heritage.
@@user-hq6bb1js3gthe news was stating that we are no longer a Christian country....we are a Christian country. Our country was built on Christian moral values. Just because times have moved on, does not mean that we are not a Christian people. We do not need religion like we used to. We know what the bible teaches; we do not need a foreign religion to replace Christianity...that would take our Christian country backwards. We need to keep our culture, our values and move forward, otherwise.....what was the point? Our forefathers could so easily have jumped into boats and deserted us. Left us behind, whilst expecting another countries people to pay for them....they didn't because they had their self respect!!! Why is it OUR government is letting OUR people down?
Always remember the old adage, “There’s no such thing as a free meal.” And you’ll be okay.
Unless you go to a Gurdwara and ki langer (free kitchen) it's true
If they're offering a discount, it's obviously a scam.
This, they don't give discounts, they put the price up!
Back in the day I was an O2 customer. I have now changed my network but kept the old number, but it doesn't stop these scammers who still think that I am an O2 Customer. Really the clue is when you have someone with an Asian accent purporting to have an English name it's a bit of a giveaway that it's a scam.
They'll call any random numbers, not just O2 customers or previous customers. I get call all the time and I never was O2.
HAMISH MARSHALL HE CALLED HIMSELF !!!
Same here....switched from orange to o2 back in 2003...2005 took my number to voda...had that number til this year when I ditched it as voda was getting too expensive....now have an o2 number which rolls off the tongue under a different guise.... and nice and cheap.....and my name isn't affixed to it either...bonus!
theres many indian languages but whenever i hit the jackpot with a tamil scammer, i cuss them out in tamil. best thing to do is call them a virgin who drinks cow piss, it gets them SO mad lol
To be honest Andy, any calls I get and to be honest I've had a few lately from different parts of the world including Russia.
I never pick up the phone because if it's someone genuine they will leave a message, and as soon as the call ends , I block it.
But thanks for the heads up.
They will have a job scamming me ,I chucked my smart phone into a skip a few years ago . I haven’t missed it ,nor replaced it since .
Best place for all things 'smart'
👍👍👍👍👍🏴🏴🏴🏴
@@user-zw3ev4wh5n I thought they were a good idea for things like emergency’s & women broke down in vehicles late at night, but they have now taken over peoples lives .
You need to put a space after a comma, like this, never before.
@@fionagregory9147 This is You tube not an English grammar class ,or exam . I left school over 50 years ago .
I had that same scam. The first odd thing was the phone call came up as a Nottingham number. The real warning was the guy asking for the code: O2 do include a message with the code saying not to give it to anyone at all.
What a horrible time we live in.
Had a similar call from a number in Scotland, more like an Indian call centre, when i answered it was a guy saying he was from 02 with a really strong Indian accent saying i could get a discount, i just hung up as i knew it was a scam.
Every 'code' message I've seen includes a note telling you to not share it with anybody, including the people that apparently sent it. If it's all automated, no human needs it.
I only drove my car down the road and a scammer tried it on with me for £12.50 🖕 scammers
They tried that with me, I just gave them the wrong code and played a game with him to see how long I can keep them on the phone
This is likely one two things:
1) A PAC code allowing them to port your number over to a different phone provider so they start billing you instead.
2) More likely it is an MFA or 2FA code (Multifactor Authentication / Two Factor Authentication) where they have your other details and the website sends a code to your phone to authenticate it really is *you* accessing the website or other service. This is even more dangerous because they could have access to a lot of your details. As soon as you give them the code they enter it into whatever website they were accessing with your details, and they are in. E.g. Maybe your email address. If they get into your email address then imagine the havoc they can cause.
It's in a CZcams video by Jim Browning, how scammers steal iPhones.
In a nutshell, they gain control of your online O2 account and order a new phone which you forward to an empty house or Airbnb address. The scammer then gets a new phone while you wait for your "discount and gift".
I will always ignore that sort of call to me ! I then phone the company in question to see if that call was genuine!
if you get a direct call from your (alleged) service provider then assume it's a scam, they should NOT be calling you to promote their services / discounts
Don't have to be careful if you just ignore all txt messages from people other than ones you expect or friends.
Beware I almost got caught out but decided to hang-up. My only regret was that I didn't give them a mouth full as I normally do when I know it's a definite scam but this one I was not so sure.
Thank you so much Andy I am with O2 and will now be aware of this scam 👍🌺
This is not about o2, this is about 2 factor authentication(2FA), a system where you receive a otp (one time password) to authenticate your self for using a service such as a visa card.
The otp is for you only and should never be given to a 3rd party ever, if they are asking for that code then they are trying to access one of your services that use 2FA.
The o2 bit is just a cover, they could have easily of just said they’re from the bbc and you have won a prize and the code is being sent to you to claim it.
It’s really important to understand the intent of these scams.
It's a scammer attempting to gain access to an O2 account. The scammer resets the online O2 account password and that triggers 2 messages being sent to the phone. They ask the victim to read the "discount" code to them.
@@gmo4250 Possibly but you don’t know that, thats my point. its more likely they want to make a payment with your credit card and want your OTP. it all depends what service is sending the 2FA otp text message , for example did it get sent from o2? Or was it a bank, visa , etc. Just because they say there from O2 doesn’t mean that is where the scam originated from.
Good advice, if you haven’t asked for something you shouldn’t be getting a code. Yes this will affect a lot of your accounts not just with mobile providers. Because of past scam problems most type of accounts require 2 point verification and a part of that is normally a code sent through text or email. These codes will never be sent unless you specifically are trying to do something with your account and you should never give the code to anyone as it is a one time code for use only at that specific time the code was requested so if you didn’t request the code it means someone is trying to access your account
What annoys me now is mobile numbers calling then realising it's a scam call it used to be private numbers we ignored as they where scam and now hospitals use private numbers now which where the numbers I ignored until I got messages to look out for a call as they wouldn't call back if I missed them so confusing especially for elderly people
I have a dumbphone I ignore everything lol
This ULEZ is also a reminder that we, the people, can affect what they think they can fob off on us. Yes, a lot of people will be too lazy, too compliant etc but in the end, when they realise this will affect THEM, thats when things change
I’ve had several calls recently purportedly from 02 originating from various different numbers in various geographical locations
I even had the same person call me from the same number twice in the same day , once claiming to be with 02 then later he said he was calling from EE
Now I just tell them to F off , hang up and block the number
Hey what happened to the Sainsbury's bag in the background, Sainsbury's becoming too expensive you or something?
Hi Andy we received a message saying we owd £300 Pounds these scams have been around for a while and thanks for the warning all the best Paul
Another possibility is that it's a "confidence upper" - although harmless in itself, having given them the code which they may have sent anyway a lot of people will feel they've "passed security" in some way and will more readily go on to give details they otherwise wouldn't.
"There are always possibilities." (Spock)
"Let's be careful out there." (I still miss Hill St Blues!)
I never respond to anything coming over my phone, only friends get acknowledged.
i had the same but smart enough not to fall for it.
Same , awake to all scams , including the one that started in March 2020
If O2 ever phone you they will always mention you by your name first.
Please always remember this guys. If they don't call you by your name it's NOT O2.
Ya can't get scammed wen you was born with f*"k all n still got most of it left, no one wants to take my f*" k all lol
Another fully paid up member of the Seasick Steve club.😂
At the minute I’m getting one of these calls every week. What they are doing is at the password reset screen on the o2 webpage. When you reset you get a 6 digit code. Then they can access your account with phone number and the 6 digit code. The text does tell you not to give the code to anyone as 02 will never ask for it. If they do then it’s not from 02. I’ve stated to play along with it now for a while lol. At the last bit ask them to say your name 😂 they can’t and will hang up
Thank you Andy for the heads up mate.
I actually got an email from EE telling me I have outstanding credit, never been a EE customer.
I’ve had nothing but trouble with o2 and a new iPhone 14 pro arrived at my door which I hadn’t ordered. I don’t know who I was really dealing with but I managed to have the phone collected and I asked the driver to sign a a home printed collection note and I took a photo of him holding the phone box. He was not happy doing either but I said he has no choice as I hadn’t ordered the phone. Keeping it seems to be a grey area in UK law. I also kept on getting phone calls from different towns in the UK with what sounded like male and female Asians. I have a phone under contract with o2 but once the contract ends I will leave them.
Who ever sent you that Andy has done pretty well and avoided disaster. Another one to watch out for is they send you a txt saying your phone bill is overdue call them using the number that they have sent , STOP Check your bank see if your DD has been sent and only use official 02 numbers to call them. Better still pop into a 02 shop for anything that’s my best advice and what I do when I hit problems or upgrades
If you didn’t actively seek it out and you get a prompt then it will always be a scam.
How it works is they access your account by selecting forgotten password and then a text is sent to your mobile, they the scammers then at the same time text you for the code enter the code and then order a new iPhone for instance send it to an selected address not theirs. Monitor the tracking number and contact person who received the phone and say it was wrongly sent and then retrieve it.
Thanks for the heads up on that one.
Thanks Andy for this latest update. God bless.
why is 02 not warning its customers it just keeps taking the money and not keeping its customers safe
As if. 😂
Warning them, like having a part of the text with the code telling you NOT TO SHARE IT WITH ANYONE ???
It’s not just O2 or phone accounts these scammers try it on every type of account you can think of. The one time code even tells you not to share it with anyone
That scam has been doing the rounds for a couple of years now. I'm with O2, had that scam several times. They sometimes say that they are calling from a branch of Currys. I usually string them along for about 15 minutes, then I tell them to fuck off 🤣🤣
My tactics also!
Now then
Genuine phone providers do not call you, other companies trying to get you to switch to them and scammers will call you. Morale of the story, don't recognise number, don't answer it, end of.
tonipeters ... If I get an unrecognisable call I just put my phone down and let them chat on and waste their money...
I dont get amy from EE unless it's tower maintenance or billing.
Hi Andy, I had the same experience, paid my phone bill, got the verification number off 02,within 2 minutes got another text asking to put in my bank details again, it was a private number so I just text back what a clown he was and a scammer, haven't had anything since! Keep up the good work fella 👍
Ditched my mobile, not even the government can hack me now🤣
I had this happen, they said a fraudulent purchase had happened on my account, and not to worry. I gave them the code. Later in the day I checked, and the goods(a phone) were out for delivery. I phoned O2, and found out that I had been conned, but they logged it as fraud. I checked again later, and it was still out for delivery to a private address. I was able to divert delivery to a shop, so they would have needed I.d., so hopefully they didn’t get it. Some companies do send codes, and ask for them to check it is you with your registered number. How can you tell?
I don’t remember getting the warning text as well as the code. Maybe I did, maybe it’s a new thing.
I have had a few phone calls recently allegedly from O2 stating I’m eligible for £30 discount etc etc , I’m not on O2
Oh come on, they do not ring anybody, doesn’t everybody know that?
I'd like a search engine with a paywall filter.
Fat chance. 😂
If they ban smoking they would have to create a tax like this to replace the lost taxes.
Had this call a couple of days ago.... within 30 seconds had told them to f off and hung up
Nothing is for nothing. Remember that you will be ok
I have had them call me TWICE now ... Oriental lady by the sound of her voice ... As I am not with O2 that's what I said to her
I have just been scammed by scammers pretending to be 02...they took over my 02 account...I have been to hell and back the last few days...in a few minutes it will be midnight with will turn into Christmas eve 2023...my Christmas is ruined...because they went as far as scamming my santander account by £3:000...both my santander accounts and 02 account are now in the hands of investigators...merry Christmas 2023
And now let's all go digital ........... because that's so safe, isn't it?
But....how does he get access to my info if tell him the code number in the text?
They have probably tried to get into your account while on the phone to you, the actual text will be from 02 as its a security step, once you tell them the code they can get into your account.
I have told those idiots to remove their webpage that facilitates this scam - but will they do it? Almost like they're in cahoots with these scammers
These scams have been around for several years, nothing new here but good for you for putting it out there regardless.
Does anyone know which network the ULEZ cameras connect to? It might be worth boycotting that network.
Thanks for the warning, Andy.
Be careful people some people are farming your Information 👍🏻☘️☘️☘️
Its people who are in the o2 call centres apparently they are based in india now easy money for them
Im not with 02 but they still phone me.i know it's a scam...😢
That's just a basic Phising scam they got a hold of his information
I'm with 3 and got a guy ringing me saying I could get a much lower tariff than the one I was on and they would also 'throw in' an Apple Watch. What colour would I like he said........ermm I'll have white as all the black ones seem a bit iffy................he hung up................
I’ve had a couple of calls !
I Answered on purpose and just kept saying I can’t understand you lol 🤣 can you get me someone who can actually speaks English ! Every time they give up and slam the phone down !! I enjoy baiting them !! The funny thing is I’m not with o2 😂😂 !!
Only free cheese is in mousetrap!
EE or a company posing EE are calling offering 31% discount.
sound like a scam.
Glasgow number. beware please
I was on virgin for my mobile but the other week I had a text and my mobile has been changed to O2. I have no idea why.
I get alot of text spam I never open them and block and delete them. I never reply to a text and encourage people to delete the messages and block.
“Always” ask the caller who they are trying to contact?
What are the names they used while scamming us ?? It will be easy to ignore calls then if someone can share it please favor us !!
Got a call today fom these scammers - I know they're scammers because the number they called from was a London number but it was a French restaurant! They sent a text witha 6-ch code. Woud I read it out to them - no I said and the female Asian on the other end was starting to get shirty because she said this was compny policy and secuity.. That was enough! Hung up and blocked their fake number.
Definitely true
I had a call I don't remember what it was about but as soon as the guy asked me for my code that's when I hung up and then he kept calling me wish I could hakai him out of existence like beerus did to zamasu because that was actual harassment
I'm with 02, but only Pay As You Go.
I’d say to people watch some videos of scam baiters like Kitboga or scammer payback. It can show you how they target people and the people doing these videos stop the scammers
Of it don't seem right,it ain't right ,ignore
They can control ur phone with this code
I had a call from O2. I said "fok off ban chod" a few times and they disconnected. I'm not with O2
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Air time. Good job I'm on pay as you go.
me too. Just for friends and a few business numbers which all come up with number and name.
thx for letting me know i was rly confused honestly i joined this job 2 days ago they told me u will be working overseas with o2 i was like ok and i was doing the same thing u saved me from being a big part of this scam
Been with them quite a while now, nothing like this tbf
If they are giving you something free, just give it.
Why do they need a code. They have all the information they need about you by now.
So much information that if "you" forget something, you should be able to call them for a reminder of what you did.
Where's my car keys ??
I get two or three of these calls a week !!
I have my mobile and home phone for free with my Tesla mod3 , it’s connected to LTE that’s musks X satellites 😊
Any of these calls from an 0330 number??....
I'm with giff gaff which is O2 last chrismas time had something similar said they were o2 etc and thats were they blowed themselfs up even if they said they were giff gaff their screwed as giff gaff has not got operators to talk to but we have to think how are they getting our information ??

I'm more worried about all the Islamic soldiers entering the UK illegally.
I had to leave o2 as it was awful
Am i the only person who does not have a mobile
Hey cabbie, quit sniffing - it's obscene.
o2 offering a discount? there's the one and only red flag you need..........their entire price structure is a complete scam
