BEWARE. O2 Fraud

Hi.

Just thought i'd stop by to let you know about a chat message i just got. "From02: we were unable to process your last bill. To avoid suspension of your contract , please update billing information now.billo2contract.com"

If you receive a message like this one, ignore it, It's a scam.

Thanks for the heads up @tcbflyr. I've been lucky so far in not receiving any of the scam messages doing the rounds. But it's still helpful to know what's out there, just in case.....

Hey guys,

we can confirm that O2 did not send this message and it is indeed a smishing text. Anyone who has received a fraudulent text message sent from ‘INFO’ please ignore it. If you’ve entered any information to the linked website then please contact Customer Service to reset your password and security question.

Please remember that O2 will never email or text anyone asking to verify personal or financial details.

Many have received this from various numbers.

Can you edit your post so no one will be tempted to click on it @Anonymous . Advice as above I'm afraid.

I have updated my security questions and password by myself, do I still need to contact customer services?
