Bill payment failure scam

[kev160967]

Just in case anyone else receives one, I just had a scam text, purporting to be from O2:

O2: We were unable to

process your latest bill.

In order to avoid fees,

please update your

payment information 

via: <Link Removed>

Don't know if they deliberately designed it for the URL to line break at that point, or it was just lucky, but it might mean someone doesn't spot the problem right away. Anyway, hope this helps someone

Hi @kev160967 

It's a well known scam.

Block the number and do not follow any links.

Forward the scam text to 7726 - It's free.
