We'd have no way of guessing on here I'm afraid as we aren't O2.

Please call customer services who can help you Guide: How to find help & contact O2 

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.

@Alan11  If customer service tells you it's a scam text, forward it to O2 on 7726, and then block the number. Here's how to block it, and any other suspect numbers, if you don't know how:

Hello @Alan11 

As previously advised you need to check with Customer Services.

However, there a many many scams going about.
