Heads Up - Phishing Scam - +447826946756

Hi All

Heads up that I received a text message from +447826946756

Note: I've separated the link with a space between each character, so no-one clicks on it by mistake.

with the following message:

"O2: Payment for your latest bill could not be processed by your bank. Please update your payment information via: <Link Removed>"

Please do not click on the link or any link you may receive from a number about your bill.

Messages from O2 always appear as "O2UK" and never as a number.

Messages from O2 will also continue a previous thread and never as a new message from an unknown sender.

If you want to check your bill, do so by logging in via your normal channels.

Can someone pass this round please?
