Checking to see if I’ve had a scam text

[Megan15]

Could you let me know if 07930 476487 is an o2 number I got a text saying my payment hasn't gone through which it shouldn't go out of my account until next week

It's a well known scam.
Block the number and do not follow any links.

They keep changing the number they send the texts from @Jay2000

They've started to change the wording of the text too by saying that your account has been suspended and you need to login to the link immediately to fix it. 

I guess they're not getting enough customers falling for it so have ramped up the threats.
