Both my husband and I have received  ?scam/ phishing messages supposedly from O2.

They state 'they cannot process our payment'. We are both on 'Pay As You Go'. 

There is a link to click on.

The phone number given on the latest one is +44737343597.

We have ignored the link, blocked this number and deleted the messages.

How do we inform O2 as I seem to go around in circles finding the correct place to go?
Thank you, Susan J.
