O2

[Davyred]

Has anyone had a text from a number telling you that you\'ve unredeemed bonus points on their account? They give you a 0871 number to ring and a Identifier code. to redeem the points.

I\'ve rang o2, and they know nothing about it.

My boy is with 02 but he hasn\'t heard owt Davy. Told him to warn his mates though.

I\'m on O2 online, so if anyones the same, keep an eye out. Just seemed really funny cos my yearly account is just about up as well

[willywetegg]

Could be just coincidence mate. There are a lot of scams at the moment.

Jim.

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

Nowt here Davy ,as Jim says and sure you know scams a plenty these days mate

I got that text message as well. I get them every 9 month or so.....do not ring them as it is a scam. When I first got the text I queried it with o2 and that is what they told me.

Also. Beware of telecoms companies that ring on the mobile saying that they have passed your number by the shop that sold you the phone. The shop that I got my phone from said that they are not allowed to sell of pass on any personal telephone numbers unless order to by a court.

chances are they will be premium rate lines that want you to call them back

[alan]

The only people that have my number is people that I give it to therefore there name/number should be displayed on my/your mobile when it rings, same goes for text messages

Hi Davy,
Its not just O2 mate. I\'m with T-Mobile and I received a message the other day telling me I had been awarded 500 text\'s.DELETED the bu**er as it told me to ring an 09something number.
Seems theyre scamming on every network mate.
