I have received an unsolicited text message from a mobile number 44 7904568184 purporting to be from O2 stating Wewereunabletoprocessyourlatestpayment.Inordertoavoidfees,pleaseupdateyourinformationvia: [link removed for safety]

 

I suspect this is a scam attempting to gain bank details as I have logged onto my account where noting is amiss.

 

Anybody with comments?  I am posting this on the community page as the online chat system doesn't seem to be working and no email address to send too!
