Is the following text from 48 or is it a scam?

I just got this text, I was wondering if this is a scam when I log into my 48 it says I haven't used any data

I doubt that it's a scam.

If you haven't actually used up your data allowance then it's probably just a mistake.

Or maybe there's a mistake on your online account where it's saying that you haven't used any (?) data but you have actually used up your allowance?

If in doubt about any message like this then simply don't click on any links that it may contain.

In this case don't use the link to log into your account - go to the app or a browser separately and log in that way.
