Hi, my bill is due today but my payment isn't taken until the 21st. I've received a text message from 07389 890252 with message containing a url that clearly isn't o2, but the branding on the page looks like o2.

The message is:
"O2: Payment for your latest bill could not be processed by your bank. Please update your payment information via:  https:// myo2.uk.bill209.com?o2=2" (space added to url to remove the link) 

There is also no reason why the bank should not have been able to process the payment as none of my payment details have changed (only the amount due to a tariff change).
