Just a quick warning. I had an email supposedly from O2, saying 'thanks for staying with O2 your bill is ready to view £445.93 !! with a link to view my bill. It used my name and everything and looked almost genuine. It would be very easy for someone to go to 'view my bill' in pure panic (my bills are normally about £10!)

 

I make a rule of never following links and, if in doubt, go into the company cocerned's own website or phone.

 

Plaese watch out for this scam

This kind of scam does the rounds every now and then.
My Apple account is another one I get targeted over along with bank accounts that I don't even own !
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Currently using:
Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)

I get similar emails pretending to be from amazon regarding a £400 order that I've not made. anguished Obviously never click the link and when I login to my account it's fine.
