Possible scam message

I got this message from a number that seemed legit about redeeming EE points however I’d never heard of EE points before so didn’t know if this message was legit or not. The link sends you to what looks exactly like the EE website so not sure if it’s legit or not.

@horsesanddogs05 : It's obviously a scam! The link in it is not even to EE (domain ee.co.uk).

There are many of these going the rounds. EE would never send you a msg asking you to click on a link in order to access your a/c.

Report spam texts to your network provider by forwarding the text to 7726 (S.P.A.M. on your keypad).

Someone I know put their number into the website, will they be okay?

Hi @jstan06,

Welcome to the Community!

Do you know if your friend has put any other details into the website? It may be worth getting this person to reach out to their provider and ensuring their account is protected, just incase anyone does try to access this.
