Scam??

[Fran54]

I am assuming the following is a scam? If it is, I believe O2 need to be aware of it. Has anyone else received this?

O2:We were unable to process your latest payment. In order to avoid fees, please update your information via: https//o2.uk.5guser02.com/?02=2

The telephone number ringing was +447904643497

I am ignoring it and will block it.

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

O2 never text from a mobile number.

Thanks all. I didn't follow the link, just came on here to see if anyone else had reported seeing the same thing. I will forward the text and block the number. Thanks for advice. 🙂
