O2 - possible Virus text message warning

[Anonymous]

My wife and I are both on O2 mobile accounts.  My wife has twice been sent txts purporting to come from O2, but with a link to a site : s.o2.co.uk.

We haven't tried the link, but I would guess that it is a malware link - unless anybody else knows different!

Impossible to tell without seeing the text but you are wise to ignore it if you feel it's suspicious.
You can always forward them to 7726 (spells SPAM) for investigation.

It's a legitimate O2 site and the link you've posted is safe to use and resolves to this one:
