Hi I had a failed payment request today from an unknown mobile number with an O2 link? This was not the usual O2 message. Can you advise?

@Smiball, if all your payments have gone through then it's a well known scam.

Block the number and do not follow any links.

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