Dodgey url in text message

Anonymous
Not applicable

Not sure if this is the right board for this post but I've just received a text message from O2 offering advice on staying safe online using a mobile but the URL in the text is http://s.o2.co.uk/onlinesafety/mcU2It.

 

I've never heard of the site s.o2.co.uk so is this a scam or does O2 have such a website?

s.o2.co.uk is just a sub domain of the o2.co.uk website so should be safe it actually redirects to the mobile m.o2.co.uk
