02202 (O2 Info) - possible scam

chris2k2 · 24-07-2008, 15:12

For the past 2 to 3 weeks have been getting a phone call from this #, which if you answer and speak they hang up straight away but if you don't speak they hang up after about a minute or so. Today 2mins 46 secs.

On an 02 phone it shows up has 02 Info Hotline, but when dialling it back you get a dead line unless you use the version in the phonebook 2202.

Having a google round suggests that this # is a possible scam, so just letting you guys knows not to answer or be wary if you do.

I odd number you don't mind but when it's every day for 2 weeks.

Its just O2 phoning to offer an upgrade discount (normally to PAYG customers). Sometimes they will offer a contract instead.
