Hi @Vtectom

This is a legitimate deal from EE, offering a SIM only plan at discount when taken as an additional line.

You can order the SIM by heading over to PAY MONTHLY SIM ONLY DEALS | EE | Additional SIM where you can place the order, as well as check our other offers.

Hope this helps!

So, why does the advert only link directly to WhatsApp? Surely that's not ee protocol?

WhatsApp no is +44 3338801511

Thanks for bringing this to our attention @Vtectom

We'll investigate and take the necessary action.

In the mean time, you can also report this on Facebook by pressing the 3 dots at the top right.

Thanks!

Same advert now with new WhatsApp number.

I've reported it on Facebook but have no faith in them doing anything about it

Thanks for the update, as well as reporting that to Facebook, @Vtectom.

If you spot this again, could you please send me over a private message with a link to the fraudulent EE Facebook page?

We have an option to specifically flag brand impersonation so this would be really helpful 😊

This is definitely a scam but your response above leads customers to believe it is legitimate. It’s a complex fraud involving Facebook and WhatsApp
