Received a text from a scammer today I think. Checked my account and everything was above board. Please see below.

From02: we were unable to process your last bill. Prevent this by updating your billing information.

Just thought I'd bring it to the attention of the community. Cheers.

OK, Michael's deactivated the URL that was in the original poster's message, before it could do any lasting damage. (Thanks, @MichaelL!).
