MMS from o2

[gmarkj]

Having done a quick search of the forum there is another topic about this, but the situation is slightly different so thought it deserved a new topic...

Today I have received 2 messages from o2 (when pressing and holding on the message it comes up as from o2UK - see below). 

This takes the total to 4 in the last 2 weeks.

My question is this - is this a legitimate message from o2? Should I trust it or just delete it without downloaded?

Personally I would delete it, I have neve received a mms from O2. If it's legitimate it will be something unimportant.

100% agree ^^^

Thanks for confirming what I thought.

Did wonder if it was priority related given I have joined that, but with the issues around availability was not actively trying to get anything.

Messages being sent to bin as we speak...

Good to hear

I have priority and have never received an MMS from O2.

Quite worrying really....:smileysad:

question for @Toby then - do o2 send out MMS to customers, and if not is there a number to report the messages to for fraud?

Why is the Subject line blank and everything else filled in? Has scam written all over it.

@gmarkj you can report it here: http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/

You might want to look at this site too: http://www.phonepayplus.org.uk/

Thanks for the link, although the amount of information they ask for is shockingly little - only 4 questions:
1) type (phishing or malware)
2)what did you get - text, email, etc
3)who was it supposed to be from - type of company rather than name
4)what were you meant to do - open, reply, download

Would have imagined they would ask for more than that to try and trace it and prevent further attempts...
