I got 5 calls from this number whilst on a week holiday in turkey, phone was off for 3 of them and ignored the other 2, Im from the UK and on TMobile. didnt realise that if a call goes to voicemail i get charged at a stupid rate so the 5 calls (all of which actually left no voicemail) cost me £13.50.
Iv called Tmobile and asked them to investigate this, as a gesture of good will they have credited me £10. but none the less, somebody somewhere is becoming very rich off this scam! cant connect if you try to call the number either, other endings in this number are 14 and 25 (maybe more, these were just what i received)
Got a call from O2 from this number. I'm Irish why not ring me from an Irish number? they wanted to move me from prepay to bill and wanted my bank details over the phone. when I refused, the girl got agitated and tried to heckle me into doing it.
I just recieved a call from this number also asking a million questions and finally looking for my bank account details in order to switch me from being a prepaid customer to a 20euro a month direct debit customer for a free calls and texts to O2 and landlines. I didn't give them my back details thank god but when I called O2 to report this they weren't very helpful.
Those anyone know what it's about? It's a scam by the sounds of it!
Its a scam! I got a call today from this number. They said they were from o2 looking for bank account details. They say they can tell you the last number you called aswell. Do NOT give them your details.
Got a missed call from these cockroaches today, by all acounts it's a scam. Best thing to do is post the number on every message board you know and circulate the warning.
I also missed a call from these guys this evening. Glad I didn't get to fone in time. I will be aware of this in future. No one should part with banking details. Red flag!!!
Got a missed call from this number today @14:23, didnt know who would be ringing me from an English number so thought id check it out here, Glad I did now!!
just got a call from this number, I am in Ireland no idea who this is but when I called it back it had that "beep" european type ringing. This is a nuisance.
This number is from LBM, who run various contracts, including o2, usually sales. They're an OSP and don't work directly for o2. Number is legitimate, LBM Belfast centre. Why does everyone instantly assume something is a scam. You can ask them to text you an official O2 text message or what numbers you've called.
They explained this to me on the phone and I checked it is registered to LBM.
