Hi,

Received a text today from o2 offering me something or other phone on PAYG for £149.99.

It gave a weblink which was apparently for the o2 site (o2.co.uk) with a number to call 2220 to stop messages. Now I was under the impression to stop texts you would text STOP to a specific number rather than call them but figured I may as well call it and got a number not recognised or thereabouts response.

I am aware CS is 2202 so it wasn't that number and now being on Giffgaff that may be the reason it didn't work but is this some kind of scam as I have never received any phone sales texts like this before.

Anyone else had this recently/today?
