Welcome to Nigeria roaming SMS received but I’m at home in UK

[Daul_p]

Hi, 

As per the title, I received a text message today welcoming me to Nigeria and detailing my call charges yet I am in lockdown in the UK and have in fact never travelled to Nigeria.

I assume this could be some sort of fraud but it seems O2 don't class this as a priority issue when I tried to call 202.

Nothing is showing on my online bill in terms of call charges but I expect it would take a few days to see anything appear. 

Any thoughts or should I not worry?

Thanks

As it was a text without a link, it does look as if it could be a scam. Follow the info here

Thank you. I have forwarded to 7726. Strange thing is it originates from O2 Roaming as the sender. Is it possible that the Sim is somehow cloned, is that a thing?

Cheers
