As I've just said on your other post. Change it immediately.

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.

Currently using:
Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)

If you use the same login details for any other sites you should change the password there too.

As well as reporting the scam text, block the number and any other numbers that arrive with a similar text:

Could that be because that is an old o2 number transferred? @blissgirl
I read somewhere that they are just picking up o2 numbers which all start 075 (I think)
This seems to be a really big scam attack.
