Just received this text. I am up to date with payments so I guess this is a scam?

@CRCBlues 

It's a well known scam.

Ignore and block the number.

Forward text to 7726 to report it to O2.

Indeed @MI5 . I had the tab open and was half way through answering (before anyone else) when my phone rang.

It happens.
