Scam texts

Patricia1066 — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 20:26:46 GMT

disabled charge to phone yet I have been charged 5p per text several times on these unknown numbers. They don't appear on the Messages app only as extra charges on the O2 app for next month bill. They appeared today, and I have not found any mention of the numbers associated with scams online.

30697 1846002

3069399544363

How do I block the texts when it's not showing on the Messages app?

Thanks @MI5 i found the texts were Greek numbers, that I had texted a month ago.

The O2 extra charges need to be shown in date order otherwise they appear to be today.
