My phone ending ....561 has been hacked

[Reverend]

I am receiving text messages to say I have overspent my monthly limit by £120, and a few minutes later, another to say it is overspent by £150.  Given that the monthly period begins on 7th of the month, this is clearly impossible, and I will not click on the response element of the text message.  Please could you confirm ASAP that this is in order.
