Hi all

 

Have received the following text:

 

Hello. We're getting in touch to let you know that you're currently out of your minimum contract term and your monthly Airtime Plan is £10.11*, this excludes any current discounts you may have.
You can choose to stay on the same tariff, move to another tariff or switch to another provider.
For more information and some tariffs to consider: http://v.o2.co.uk/y578E6H7
*+RPI + 3.9%. Terms apply.

 

Curiously, it's come from the same number which send my monthly bills.   Has anyone come across this?  Thanks.

 

Justin Brady

HI MI5.  The link looks really dodgy which is why I was suspicious.  Thanks for your advice on this.
