Txt claiming to be fr O2

[Takari2019]

Help! I'd like to report a phone number that sent me a txt this morning at 332 am. It was claiming that there was a problem with my my O2 bill, it hadn't been paid and sent me a link to send them my billing details.

@Takari2019 

It's a scam. We have had many reports about this and O2 are looking into it. Don't open the link at all.

Tale advice from this link here https://www.o2.co.uk/help/safety-and-security/phishing-and-smishing-advice 

Reporting a scam email, text or call

Some scams might pretend to be from O2, or from an organisation you already deal with. It's important that we see examples of phishing emails, texts and websites so we can investigate and shut down scammers. To report a suspicious text....

• forward the text message, including phone number or company name, to 7726. It won’t cost you anything and it means we can investigate the sender.
  

Best of luck and welcome to the forum

Hi @Takari2019 

Thank you very much for popping in here to report the scam.  There have been quite a few reports. 

Obviously you are taking care not to give your details to a suspicious text

 Always check your MYO2 account first.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS ☃️❄☃️❄☃️

Always be scam aware.
