Had c£30 of charges on my fathers account for a few months now. He doesn’t recognise them and I suspect it’s a a scam.

Anybody else suffered the same charges or aware of the origin?

thanks

Seems to be a premium rate text scam.

Block the number and report to 7726

Get premium rate calls/ text barred on the account

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.

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.
