Mr.C Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Nearly got hooked. Got a message purporting to be from O2 saying my card payment had failed. Well as it happens its a new debit card so I rang O2 to give them my details. "No sir if its not a new account just a new card there isn't a problem, its a scam". Good job I won't use mobile or computer to make payments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
