Billing scam

I’m not sure if anyone can help me out as I am unsure whether this is a scam or not. I had an unusual text from +44 7407 680157 and it said the following - O2:We were unable to process your latest bill. In order to avoid fees, please update your payment information via:  <Link Removed>

I have never had a message like this before from O2 so I thought it was suspicious. If anyone could help I’d be grateful.
Thanks slight_smile

Thank you! I’ve just reported it and blocked the number. Unfortunately I stupidly opened the link but I stopped putting in details as I thought it was a bit suspicious... hopefully nothing will happen from it.
