Hi all I keep getting a call from 0333 338 1017. They say that are from 3 and have offers on for me for £5!. When I said I am already on 3 and have contracts with 3 she then asks what phone I have. I disconnected the calls.

I'm on O2 and keep getting loads of calls from this and very similar numbers. I think I've blocked around 20 so far that all start 0333 338. Some scam I think.

Yes very much like a scam, this site can provide some background of suspicious numbers. https://who-called.co.uk/

I had them last month claiming to be from O2. I just blocked them, usually they email or text as I have a contact with them, so never ring you.

Register for tps and that's should stop alot of them, can't remember the number but just have to register by sending sms to them, I am sure you all can Google it

@NawtyRobot It is a good idea to register, apparently their remit only covers live unsolicited sales and marketing calls though. https://www.tpsonline.org.uk/pages/nuisance

Just worth bearing in mind that some scammers can make it look like they are calling from a legitimate number when they're not - eg with a correct bank phone number etc. Just always need to be careful and if in any doubt treat it as a scam or ask for a reference number, hang up and call the company directly yourself
