I have received a text message from 07956 251732 saying there is a problem with my billing. I am assuming this is a fraud attempt and I have not clicked in the URL. The text is as follows:

O2:We were unable to process your latest payment. In order to avoid fees, please update your information via: https://o2.uk.invno002.com/?o2=2

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.
