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’ve had this text too, this afternoon at 14:06 20/10/2020. I didn’t click the link but I checked my bank and none of my payments were returned from O2 so it’s a definite scam! I’ve just blocked the number and deleted x
