It's a well known scam.

Block the number and do not follow any links.

Forward the scam text to 7726 - It's free.

I got one too and it's definitely fake. Came from a mobile number and the link is just trying to look like o2.

#metoo.

 

I got a message from a mobile number which was +44 7908 966186.

 

I tried sending a copy to 7726 as per customer services however it won't send so no clue what to do next as I can't find anywhere to report it either although from what the customer services said, they are aware there is a problem.
