Hi all,

Trying to get to the bottom of this but the 02 business account team is shut so wanted to ask here.

My mil received 2 x 02 business sims through the post which she never ordered. The address is obviously correct but her name is spelt incorrectly on the orders.

Is this a scam? It certainly seems like one but I'm not sure how as I have the sims in my possession. My mil is deaf and her hearing aids are playing up so I need to call on her behalf. This is going to be fun jumping through the security hoops!

Ta.

My Mum had similar. Reported them back to the provider, nothing bad ever seemed to come of it. A mystery!

Usual scam with this is a mobile phone is also ordered, it arrives, then minutes later a “courier” driver arrives to collect the phones as they have been delivered by mistake, the courier is just a guy in a high viz ,
So under no circumstances hand anything over, I’ve heard they can be very aggressive in asking for the phones to be handed over so be aware of this
