Solved: Spam messages

Hi

I received a message yesterday supposedly from O2 saying that my payment couldn't be processed. There was a link to what looked like the O2 site. I signed into O2 (not using the supplied site!) and found that my payment, which is taken by DD, had been made successfully. I presume this was a spam message...has nayone else had one of these? What's the angle? It was curious that the message coincided with the actual payment date.
