Reports consistently highlight unsolicited calls from this number, where callers with Indian accents impersonate O2 or Virgin Media representatives. Common tactics include false claims about contract cancellations or urgent account issues to extract personal details. Victims frequently note the persistence, such as follow-up calls after hanging up. This aligns with widespread scam patterns targeting telecom customers, often originating from overseas call centres. Blocking the number is advisable, alongside reporting to Action Fraud for investigation. Avoid sharing any information, and consider registering with the Telephone Preference Service to reduce such intrusions. Awareness of these red flags—like unsolicited urgent demands—helps prevent falling victim.

A caller from India pretended to represent Virgin Media/02 even though my contract isn’t with either provider.
A caller identifying himself as Ethan, apparently from India, warned that my O2 contract would be cancelled in two days – a claim that’s false as I never had such a contract. After I hung up, he called back and asked why I’d ended the call, to which I replied I have no O2 agreement, and he retorted asking which provider I actually use.
