It's a well known scam.
Block the number and do not follow any links.

Never give the code to anyone - it's to use online on O2 website only.

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.
