Suspicious MMS

[Anonymous]

I have just received a MMS that purports to be from O2UK.  It is a picture message 879KB and claims to be a "multimedia message notification" from  a "Hidden sender address".  Subject is "Untitled".   Is this likely to be a legitimate message from O2?  Or should I just delete without opening it?

Slightly off topic and apologies to @Anonymous but it seems ok to mention here that since I have been in Spain (for past 3 days) I have been plagued with spam calls. (About 10 in total) I don't answer them obviously and add them to reject list....but for someone who rarely gets these calls when I am in the UK it seems pretty weird they are coming in now.....

No apology necessary @Cleoriff - other peoples' experiences are of interest and help.   I am glad to say that I did not get any spam calls during the 8 days I spent in and around Malaga recently and was connected via Movistar (one of O2's recommended "partner" networks.)

I've never known O2 to send anything other than emails or plain texts, so this sounds dodgy to me.

exactly what i receive when my bill is ready, never had a mms from o2 & i never use that kind of messaging as there are other ways much better

No, once deleted from the message list it's gone. The destroy comment was just the emphasise the importance of deleting and not opening.

Thanks @MI5 - I appreciate the clarification. Including the word "destroy" certainly focussed my attention!!!

Yes...I am also on Movistar...but these calls are purportedly UK numbers....Probably thought they would annoy me as I am getting far too much sun....

A FURTHER DEVELOPMENT

Having taken the good advice to delete the suspicious MMS , I have n ow received a further Text Message (allegedly) from  O2_Alert.   This one says "You have been sent a media message from....."  (It then quotes a mobile telephone number which rather curiously happens to be MY own mobile number!!!) "that your mobile does not support.  View it at www dot o2 dot co dot uk/m by typing in your mobile number and pin : "  It then gives a 6 character PIN.

Another one for Delete and Destroy!   Maybe @MI5 's sense of drama is well founded!!!

It's enough to make me jump ship to BT Mobile!!!
