Keep on getting scam text saying: o2:We have been unable to take payment, please re-attempt here at our secure site <Link Removed>

Who know how to stop them or report them?

I had text message too, dodgy link saying my contract needed checking all I needed to do was provide my Debit card details, otherwise my contract was going to be terminated!

 

Funny I am on PAYG, Please don't fall for these more sophiscated scams!

 

If in doubt call O2 Customer Services directly! please don't click links or text rip off/scam text!
