Saying o2 were unable to process your bill, unfortunately I opened the link, I did not Enter any details though as I then realised it was a scam, I have been onto my02 and changed passwords

@MrsM  Yes there have been many reports of scam text messages of late. Please take a look at this:

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 email, text or website:

• 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

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

These scams seem to be coming in thick and fast now and are also known to O2 who are meant to be investigating @Martin-O2 ?

I just feel very concerned for those people who don't come to here to check first.

Good job you did @MrsM  and welcome to the forum

That's correct @Cleoriff O2 are investigating the recent increase of these phishing texts. 

@MrsM Please follow the advice posted by @Bambino above. You did the right thing by changing your passwords after clicking the link. If you still have the text please send me a screenshot via private message but no worries if not.
