Hi I have received a text message from an unknown number claiming it was O2 saying that payment wasn't verified and my bundle would be cancelled. It has a link to it which takes you to on 'O2' site, I logged on to my REAL O2 account and there were no money to pay on my account. Please be aware of this scamText

It's a well known scam.

O2 never text from a mobile number.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
