Scams and fraud

What to do if you’re a victim of fraud on your O2 account

Are you a victim of fraud?

Woman with curly hair, wearing a blue shirt, looks surprised at her phone while holding a credit card, sitting at a desk with a laptop.

What to look for

If you've been contacted about a purchase you didn’t make, or if money has been taken from your bank account, you could be a victim of fraud.

Signs of scams and fraud

Let us know

If you suspect any fraudulent activity on your O2 account, contact us as soon a possible. You can call us on 202 (free from your O2 phone), or on 0344 809 0202 (standard UK rates).

Report fraud
Person holding a smartphone and a credit card, preparing for an online transaction while seated on a couch.

Tell your bank

If money has been taken from your bank account or credit card, you should let your bank or card provider know immediately. You should also report this to Action Fraud.
