A local borough resident had a cold-call from 0330 174 9418 on mobile claiming to be a woman from 02 offering one-time 40% deal off 02 contract. Trying to put pressure to sign up and to expect a text but if the resident had another call or text to hang up as that might a scam! Deception tactic and social manipulation to agree as may not call again! Claims to be based in SL1 4DX and when trying to get more information the caller hung up.
