Forward the message to 7726. There are a few threads on this, here's one:

This is a public forum and you really shouldn't be posting anyone's number here, regardless of what they are doing. How do you know it's an O2 number?

If it's an O2 number have you elected in MyO2 not to receive calls from O2?

I don't think it's an O2 number as the same number has been reported for PPI calls, and O2 don't do this.

It's most likely an O2 SIM that is been used by the spammers. Nothing to do with O2. This is the reason that there is now a limit on "unlimited" texts, as computers can be set up to fire off this spam 24 hours a day every day of the year......
