Scam

I just recieved a text from 07389886694 saying:

O2 : Payment for your latest bill could not be processed by your bank. Please update your payment information via: [Removed]

Do not click on the link as it is a scam and will take your card details.

Thank you for the quick response. It was too late for me as i had just changed my address with the bank and thought it may have been genuine, in hindsight i should have gone through my O2. I have blocked the number and forwarded on to 7726.
