An elderly relative of mine thought he had 150 BT shares and recently took up BTs offer to sell them. Although he was able to sell the 150 shares, they returned a share certificate for 150 o2 shares to him.
He does'nt even know what O2 is so would never have bought them. Just wondering - since hes had them for a long time, is it maybe because O2 split from BT and all BT shareholders were awarded shares in O2 as well ???
