o2: 3 free tunes from itunes - Possible Scam? EDIT: NOT SCAM

Anonymous

Hi,
New user here. Not sure if I've just done something silly or if I'm just being paranoid. Hope it's the latter. Got the email below from paymonthly@o2.co.uk
02: Here are three songs on iTunes from O2. Just to say thanks. Choose yours now.
http://a.o2url.com/itunes?code=CODE HERE (not given in case unique!)
Code expires 31 Dec 2010. Terms apply. To stop SMS, text STOP to 81145.

Clicked url and logged into iTunes from iPhone, but now it occurs to me it might be a scam to get my iTunes password.
Can anyone reassure me if this is genuine?
Thanks,
Baldy

@o2.co.uk addresses are not normally o2 they normally end in @o2.com
but 81145 is an o2 shortcode according to phonepayplus as a free shortcode
if unsure ring customer services and ask.
also the domain is registered to a private address o2url.com could be a clever scam or a genuine I would ring and check

Thanks Chris.
Unfortunately - and I'm normally one of those people who prides themselves on not falling for potential phishing scams - I already clicked it and logged into iTunes.
As far as I know, you can't change your iTunes password from an iPhone and I don't have iTunes on my work PC to check.

Brilliant!
I'm always quick to denounce customer service when it's poor, so I'd like to give kudos to you and O2 for good customer service.
Thanks for checking it out so quickly and getting back to me.
