Well known scams on here. 
Just block number and ignore them. 
Texts can be forwarded to 7726 for O2 to investigate. 

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.

Don’t open any links or enter any information.
