Hi,

 

I have received an SMS on my O2 SIM from O2 starting the following:

"O2: We were unable to process your latest bill. In order to avoid fees, update your payment information via: https//...."

 

I am confused/concerned as I cannot see any mention of this on My O2 profile and am reluctant to click on the provided link. Is this potentially spam or is this a real SMS from the O2 services?

 

Thank you in advance!

 

Roxane

Hi MI5,

 

Thank you ever so much for your feedback, and duly noted for the future. I will be sure to delete/block the number, and to report it.
