Everyone watch out! You’ll click on the link and it’ll say you have X amount of points then you can pick a massage chair, cigars, coffee machine or various other things….the cigars alone made me question this 😂

So yeah if you click on it for the love of all that’s holy do not put your card details in!

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

It is well known if you care to look in this forum. 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.

If you entered any personal details you may have to a) check with your bank, b) change your bank card and/or c) change your EE a/c password.

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

Christ I work in data security and protection and nearly fell for this scam.  I had the TV on, waiting for an update on my work PC so had a quick look at my phone messages.  Clicked on link, entered email address and address but just stopped before entering bank details for postage.

Thank god I double checked online if this is actually a scam, to find it definitely is.  Boo hoo I'll not be getting a new iPad now but at least my bank account won't be emptied!

Gutted they got my email and home address.  Need to watch my menopause brain fog and stay alert.
