I recently ordered a boiler service (for my mother's house actually, but I doubt it makes any difference). I ordered it from Bord Gais without actually being a customer - they allow that.
They said not to pay on the day, I would be billed later. Today I got a text with an urecognisable link, asking me to click it and pay.
Now I'm pretty sure this is legitimate, because the boiler service was done. However, should they really be sending texts like this, when the whole world is telling us not to click links in suspicious texts?
In the end (after trying to call Bord Gais but failing) I did click the link. It takes me to a website "tal.phonovation.com", which requests my credit card details.
As I say I'm pretty sure it's legit, but at the same time, it goes against everything we've been told. I'll wait and see if a paper bill comes too, that might solve it.
