I got a text message to update my payment information with a link to this domain: o2.uk.o2ref633.com

Didn't follow the link as it looks dodgy. Whois lookup doesn't instill any more confidence.

Strange thing is that my payment is due in the next few days and I have enough money in the account to cover the bill.

Trying to get in touch with support but it's a little painful getting in touch with someone. Anyone here know?

@Bambino Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated. First phishing email I've had from O2 if memory serves me. Bit of a coincidence that it happened soon after I got a contract with them after years with other networks. Saying that, I also claimed some headphones with the new phone (from this website: https://sonyheadphoneoffer.co.uk). Looks like the website might be operated by a third party. Wonder if that's got anything to do with it.

Probably just a coincidence.
