Got weird text from +447793025905 telling me as follows

 

"O2:We are unable to process your latest bill. In order to avoid disconnection, Update you o2online billing via [URL removed]

O2"

 

The part in italics is a clickable link on the message.

 

I suspect scam?

Use this secure link to login to your MYO2 and check your bill https://accounts.o2.co.uk/

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.
