Free gift offer from EE,is this a scam?

I received a notification from what looked like EE saying I'm eligible for a free gift. Went through a survey (no major details given away) and now it has routed me to a different page ([mod edit: removed to ensure safety]) - has anyone else had this and is it legitimate?

Good Morning @kcordier25

 

Thanks for coming to the community. 

 

I am not aware of free Samsung devices being given, please do not click on the link or enter any personal details. 

 

Katie 🙂

I got this as a pop up too. Looked very authentic with ee logo and even 'satisfied customers'. It said this promo is run every Sunday. Beware

Hi just a heads up just got this same thing pop up while on the internet via phone. 

Cheers

Hi,

Today i fell for this. Stupidly. The logo was professional and looked just like your EE one.

I thought EE (and the community) would like to know this scam is still going on.

 

I did get an email reply (the message originally just came up while I was browsing online) and the company says it is erler.com and it provides 'after services' for clients.

 

Hope EE can look into this.  Thanks all.
