I received a text message this morning apparently from 'O2Billing' which looks authentic as it used my name.
However it contains a link to a 02 (zero 2) website, rather than O2 to update my billing information.
Has anyone else received this?
I have logged in to my account in the usual O2 way, and no mention of any billing problems.
I have not given any information to the linked website, but would be helpful to verify that this is actually a phishing text, and how did they get my name and details??
