Weird text from 02-UK

[Anonymous]

Hi, I’ve just received a text from o2-UK which I believe is a fake. The text read:

O2 Ref: Site No. RT02B022. Your security code is 8281. If you're not in direct contact with O2, please call 202 now so we can protect your account. Thanks.

This is a scam I think think u as anyone knows it’s real? Be careful guys!

@AnonymousI have never heard of that one. Contact customer services and see what they say https://www.o2.co.uk/contactus

You could also report it via this route https://www.o2.co.uk/help/safety-and-security/fraud-and-phishing-advice

Call 202 immediately to confirm if there is any account activity as this is the confirmation text you receive when in store and they are looking to access your details on their computer.
It could just be a number input error, but best to check.

Looks like a text you receive in store when you are in the contract process or upgrade

It is.....

@Anonymous 202 is the legitimate number to call Customer Service from your mobile, so there's no harm in calling to check why you were sent that text.

@Anonymous Out of interest are you upgrading or just received it as possible fraud?
