Large Amount of Scam Texts Since Joining O2
I've been with O2 for just two days and today have already received three spam texts.
They have a lot of warnings about it, more so than any other operator I have been with and a friend got scammed as they were porting their old number over (someone called, confirmed their house number and name, then asked for a code they sent by text - mistake was there but as the person knew my friends details, seemed half legit).
Only had these problems with O2.
The cynic in me thinks their overseas operation base - someone is taking data away and selling it to scammers. Seemes to make sense.
Left Smarty - no scam texts at all. Ever, in over 12 months.

Don't assume - just answer the question as best you can with the information you have.
