Hi @hanpole 

Its a scam. Has been reported frequently on here. O2 are looking into it. Don't click on any links and send the text to 7726

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:

I got a text too and I opened it thinking it was o2. I didn't give any details. Would my account be hacked now?

If you didn't enter any details your account will be fine @S_Afzal
