The link in the message associated with the number +447376459226 reads o2.uk.serv5g742.com/?o2=2
In fact the link provided by the scammers above is a subdomain. They have added the folder o2.uk. to create this subdomain to make the domain look more like the actual O2 website. The actual domain is serv5g742.com, a website which was created two days ago and hosted in Russia. This domain is a phishing site designed by the scammers to steal personal and bank details.

Do not respond to this text message. Do not click on the links as these will lead to a website designed to steal your personal and banking information. Forward the message to O2 on 7726.
