Keep an eye out on this one...

Just got a phishing SMS.

Looks like O2 but filled it in with bogus details and they all got accepted 🙄

• Reported to ESET screen filter, Microsoft Smart Screen and also the domain host.

Hi @Shuntfield 

It's a well known scam.

Block the number and do not follow any links.

Forward the scam text to 7726 - It's free.

Other ways to report here including Action Fraud website

Edited to add, O2 will never contact you via a mobile number

If I blocked all the numbers that I get these from I'd run out of storage 🤣 they are spoofed anyway so it's not even a real number!
It's been reported to 7726.

I've also reported it to the domain providers abuse email address.

@Shuntfield 
Fair enough. My post above is the standard reply to anyone who gets a spam text regarding billing issues

We know it's never ending and if you block one, another will come in.

The key thing, for anyone who is unaware, is O2 will never use a mobile number to contact you.
