Is this a scam O2 website?

[JohnRoxton]

Hi all,

Got some replies on gumtree and one was from a EU mobile number and it became clear that the person was a timewaster.

Got a message from "O2" this morning that I have sent a text to an international number for the first time and to login and check my tariff.

First, it is not the first time I have texted and Int number and O2 would know that as I have had this number/account for years.

Second, the link website looks wrong, it starts:

http://s.o2

The "s" secure symbol is on the wrong side of the ://

I was wondering if the timewaster deliberately answered my add with that number and then faked the O2 text to get me to click that link.

I never click any link in a text message.

I may just forward it to O2 phishing and see what they say.

Thanks in advance

Yes this is an invalid URL and I would forward it to O2.

They don't care whether you send international's texts or not, they may send you a message with your bill to say if you're going to do this frequently to check your tariff / bolt ons but not on a one off (and if as you've said before you've done this a number of times)

s.o2.co.uk is valid and is not unusual for o2 links to look like that, but always check your MyO2 from http://www.o2.co.uk/myo2 to be sure.

Thanks for your thoughts.

I will forward it to O2 phishing.

Thanks for your thoughts.

I will forward it to O2 phishing just in case.

Thanks for taking the time to report this one @JohnRoxton!

I'll also forward it internally to the fraud team.
