O2 Billing text scam?

[johnboy68]

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?

Hi
I just received a text from this number: +44 7310 900453
Saying:
“ [O2]
Your services have been suspended as we could not debit your monthly bill.
Recover your account securely at the link provided here...”

I’m assuming it’s spam as I’ve been with o2 for over 15 years and my billing details haven’t changed but wanted to make o2 and others aware incase it happens to someone who clicks the link.
