My dad got a text today as follows

FromO2: we were unable to process your last bill. To avoid suspension of your contract , please update billing information now.

second message was a link to website o2-bills.com

to me it looks like an obvious scam.

anyone else seen or get a message like this.

Good news for sure.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

I have just received the same text but stupidly clicked on the link I’m the text (although pleased to say I didn’t enter any info). Will my account be ok?

@RF17 As long as no details were entered, you'll be OK.

It's been well documented on here and thousands of these texts are going out daily. I do hope no one clicks on the link or gives out sensitive information unknowingly.

Could you edit your post and remove the link please.
