All phones will warn you that texting short codes may cost.
It doesn't mean they will or that it's a scam.
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.

Deleted the text so do not have the number it came in on. It's easy if you receive a text from the scammer (02uk) and you try to reply your phone will issue a warning that the reply will cost you money.

 

DO NOT REPLY

As I said above, attempting to text any short code will issue the warning. It does not mean it is a scam at all.
