Hi @swanvesta2123

Welcome to the Community.

The domain discover.ee.co.uk/ belongs to us, so it does look legitimate link/message.
However trying the link it brings up an error.

Can you post a screenshot of the message?
Just be sure to blank out any personal information like your mobile number etc.

Thanks

Ali

Linky don't compute! "Corrected" (remove ',' at end of URL) but still fails:

I have just received a text with a 'discover.ee.co.uk' link - both phone and PC see this as a dangerous website, advising it is on a URL Blacklist

I have not proceeded - if it is genuine, EE need to address this

Hi @martincopeswood

If the link is in the form of https://discover.ee.co.uk/a1b2c3 the link is legitimate and can be safely opened.
