Watch out for this O2 scam text

DH got the same text purporting to be from EE. He is not with EE!

I am with O2 so they got that part right. It was the fact it was sent from a phone number which alerted my attention.

I had one supposedly from Vodafone last week. I do not have an account with them.

I got the same one claiming to be from EE today.
I almost fell for it because my bill is paid around 22nd of the month.
Checked my account and it had been paid ok.
I contacted EE on Twitter and they gave me a number to forward the message to so they can investigate.

I have had that O2 text twice. It's such an obvious scam because of the actual phone number. I've reported and blocked. Lots of these going about

janeainsworth I don’t know if it’s coincidence but my O2 bill was due today. I’ve checked and there’s nothing untoward on my O2 account or bank account.

I’ve forwarded it to the O2 spam alert number 7726 and blocked the number. Not that blocking the number is fool proof as they come back again with another number.

They really are the lowest of the low hoping to catch someone vulnerable with their guard down.

That was the same number I was given Granny, makes sense I suppose for all the companies to have a joint effort.
