It's a scam. Please delete it and don't click the link. Many customers are receiving this and O2 know about it.

 

Please edit your post to remove the link so no one will be tempted to click on it.

It goes without saying that you should not do it @R6boss 

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.

No matter how few fall for it, it must be very lucrative for this scum of the earth.
