Hello has anyone received a text puportedly from O2 saying that the monthly billing for my 02 plan has failed and asking for payment details to be put in again.  Obviously they wanted my bank details to enable the payments to be taken.  If anyone has did you report them to 02 and is how did you do this?  Many thanks.

It's a well known scam.

O2 never text from a mobile number.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
