Block the number and do not follow any links.
Forward the scam text or number to 7726 - It's free.

You should also edit your post to remove your number from public view.

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.
