Reporting fraudulent behaviour

[Fraudprotect]

I received the following text message from 07385 565227:

O2:We were unable to process your latest bill. In order to avoid fees, please update your payment information via: [link removed for safety]

Please would someone let me know whether or not this is genuine. If it is not, please report this phone number for fraudulent action.

That site is listed as malicious.
Confirmed fake phishing scam

Hi, Fraudprotect,

Have a look in your myo2 app and check if your bill is paid or not. If you can't, give o2 customer services a call on 202 or 0344 809 0202, and they will be able to help you.

This guide will also help you in regards to possible phishing.
