Hi @ragedcribs 

It’s probably a scam and has been reported frequently on here. O2 are supposed to be looking into it, though they obviously haven't managed to shut it down as yet.

Do not open it or click on any links

Forward the scam text to 7726  free of charge

Other ways to report here…. including Action Fraud website

Block the number - advice in these links

It's a well known scam going round. Block the number and don't follow any link.

Forward the text to O2 on 7726 then delete and block.

Check My O2 to make sure your up to date.

I got one earlier, from a different number, screenshot below.  Reported to 7726.

Sneaky, sly, rat b*gg*rs!

*remembered @liggerz87 has quite entertaining rats, so... 😁

They will keep changing the number to get round the fact that everyone will block the number each time.

There should be a law against spoofing mobile numbers... Oh, wait, there is 

I wonder who really owns that one? 

[MI5]

It's not mine
