I received this text yesterday from ‭07553 570410‬ and after checking my O2 account, which shows that my payment details are still in order, I’m assuming this is a scam!!

O2:We were unable to process your latest bill. In order to avoid fees, please update your payment information via: [mod edit: removed to ensure safety]

It's a well known scam.
Block the number and report it free to 7726.
DO NOT follow any links or enter any information.

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.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.
