O2 issues warning over phone call that could cost you a fortune

O2 is urging customers to be aware of criminals who are trying to steal their details through a new scam. The fraudsters are trying to steal personal details by offering bogus offers on their phone bill.

The scam sees the fraudsters call up O2 customers and tell them that they are eligible for 30% or more off their bill. They then send a text with a one-time passcode and ask they you read it back to them.

But the code is actually a login code for your online account. Giving it to them gives them access to all of your personal details, reports The Mirror.
