Scam o2 message

[zimmellie]

I just got a text message saying o2 was unable to take payment for my next bill but when I log in the payment is set up correctly (I didn't use the link in the text message).  Anyone else had this?

It's a well known scam
Block the number and report it free to 7726.
Don’t open any links or enter any information.

hi, a lot of people do tend to get this message come through but bare in mind for future reference if o2 send out any text messages it will come up from o2 UK not a random number.
