Potential Scam Text

Like a previous reported message I have seen in your discussions,    I have just received a text from +447702615095 purporting to be from O2 and telling me my SIM Contract will be limited, as I haven't accepted your new Terms of Use. It includes a link to 2025serviceterms.com, which I have not used, as I think the text may be a scam.
 
Can you confirm if the text is genuine, or a potential scam?
 
Many thanks,

Well we are not O2 but from the spoofed phone number and the weird email address we can be pretty sure it's a scam.

Block the number and forward to 7726

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.
