Hi I have received a text message from an unknown number claiming it was O2 saying that payment wasn't verified and my bundle would be cancelled. It has a link to it which takes you to on 'O2' site, I logged on to my REAL O2 account and there were no money to pay on my account. Please be aware of this scam
