Is this a genuine ee web address?

Mojo909 — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 14:43:05 GMT

Hello, not sure where to post this really but yesterday a friend of mine received a text message from my number saying to go to a web url to receive an MMS message.

The problem is all my previous MMS to my friend have gone through, and I didn't send one yesterday.

The url the message linked to is very similar to the legitimate EE MMS retrieval service, but not quite.

The url sent is

HTTPS://MVNO.mms.ee.co.uk/MVNO/

The site looks very similar to the EE MMS retrieval site but doesn't have any EE branding.

Is this a legitimate EE url?

Even if it is, how is it that an MMS was sent from my number when I didn't send anything and my phone has no record of sending anything?

If it is a scam how the hell did anyone manage to send something through my phone with no record of it being stored?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @Mojo909

Welcome to the community.

Are both of you with EE for your network operator?

I'm with ee, my friend isn't, I'm believe she's with Vodafone, though I'll have to check and ask, though I'm unsure of the relevance of that question when I didn't send the message? why is there a website forwarding data from a legitimate EE site? And how was that possible when there was nothing sent from my device?

Cordially, Moe.
