Solved: Spam? Fraud?

miralles · ‎15-07-2020

Got a text message from O2 UK saying there has been a problem with my last payment and asking me to update my payment details by clicking on a link...

Checked my on line O2 account and no messages or warnings...

Hi, @miralles,

Yes, you are right, this is a known phishing text. If you wouldn't mind reporting it by forwarding it to 7226.

Here's a link that I found helpful, so hopefully, you will too.
