Just receieved a txt message - apparently from O2 but sent from +447960568736.

It says:

O2: We were unable to process your latest payment. In order to avoid fees, please update your information via: https://o2.uk.inv-no9982.com/o2=2

Using the O2 website, there is nowhere such txt can be checked as being known scams. 

Anyone had any similar txt?

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.
