O2:We were unable to process your latest bill.

[SimonAllen]

I have had this text message an hour ago.

'O2:we were unable to process your latest bill.  In order to avoid feres, please update your billing information via:https:// '

There are two possibilities here.  It might be a genuine text message.  It comes from 44 7306 887120.  If it is genuine I was not aware there was any problem with my account.

If it is a criminal then what is O2 doing about this.  The Whois search on the domain is interesting.

So what do you think?
