I recieved a message yesterday saying that I needed to update my payment information. Without thinking I clicked on the link but I realised it was a scam and didnt enter any details. Could my phone get hacked into now?

Your account won't be hacked but change your password for peace of mind.
t's a well known scam.
Block the number and report it free to 7726.
Don’t open any links or enter any information.

No, you'll be fine as long as you didn't enter your details.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
