Dodgy O2 'billing' email

Hi all. Just a quick post to mention that I've just had an email purporting to be from O2. I suspect it's dodgy.
It was titled, 'O2 Billing', which is different to what I normally get.
Inside was a fairly sparse set of details and two or three click links.
I've deleted mine just in case. I know sky has taken over, but I can't see why the style would change - and if it did, it's likely to be from...Sky.
If I was a nasty virus person this would be an ideal time to drop virus on people as things are changing. I recommend you treat emails apparently from 'O2' with caution.
Cheers.
Btw - I didn't click on anything.

The atmosphere is currently filled with hypocrisy so thick that it could be sliced, wrapped, and sold in supermarkets for a decent price and labeled, 'Wholegrain Left-Wing, Middle-Class, Politically-Correct Organic Hypocrisy'.

If you mouseover the links you should see where they actually navigate to.
Alternatively the scammers incorporate their nasties in an attachment to the email.
You're not being specifically targeted - I get similar emails from my ISP and many other ISPs too. And banks. And credit cards. etc.0
