Hi,

I just received a text from "EE" with a link to the above site. Does anyone know if this is a real EE site or is it a phishing text?

Thanks

Smells like phishing. Not an EE domain.

What did the text want you to do?

If the link was really https://eeuk.mms.ee.co.uk/eeuk/ it'll be for EE's MMS repository when someone has sent you an MMS (Picture Msg) & your device is not set up to receive them.

I've had texts from this number before, there's no number listed it just says "-EE-"

It said "we're able to bring you a deal from our friends at BT" due to Black Friday. I senselessly clicked the linked but closed it as soon as my brain kicked in. Didn't enter any details or click anything ont the page when it opened.

At the bottom it says "text STOP to 2040 to opt out from all text message marketing."

Hi @Chrisjloveridge

This does sound like one of our messages and that is the correct opt out number. Can you attach a screenshot of the message?
