Amid the cost of living crisis, criminals are exploiting people's hardships in a bid to get their hands on their money.
According to Vouchers.co.uk findings, people could be at risk of losing around £1,000 in a new mobile phone scam. According to O2’s customer service forum, many customers received phone calls from scammers in August, claiming to offer a 40% discount.
One unlucky customer from Ireland answered the call, in which the criminal was offering the discount and needed to verify her identity to apply the discount to her account. He claimed O2 would send a security code which she would need to repeat.
