Text message scam?

I just received a text claiming to be from Virgin, but it uses a different number than usual (433262 instead of 433306) and the link at the bottom looks very similar but includes an [m.] at the beginning which other Benefits links have not had. My phone detected it as spam, but I'd like to know if this is legit?
