FRAUD ATTEMPT in the name of O2 to my O2 messages

[Fraudbusters]

Hi all

Just to alert everybody (including O2 but cannot find how to reach you!) that I received a text on my service to say " O2: We were unable to process your latest bill. In order to avoid fees, please update your payment information via : <Link Removed>

I checked on MyO2 and my bill had been paid. 

Beware of this FRAUD made from the number +44 7799 642806

Stay safe.
