Spam? Fraud?

[miralles]

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...

It's a well known scam.
Block the number and do not follow any links.
Forward the scam text to 7726 - It's free.

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.
