Is this a SCAM? I've received a txt saying I've 3 days to claim reward pints available in my Account & given a link.

I've not used the Link but have logged into my Broadband Account and I cannot see any details about claiming the Reward Points or what they give you. Can anyone help?

@Cautious : 

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

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).

I think I've resolved this for myself.  It is a scam so look out for it.

Online I entered ee-corc.cn ( the start of the link I was offered) and I'm getting Vietnamese references.

Hi @Cautious 

Welcome to the community. 

I know how worrying it can be when you receive a Scam message, you have done the right thing by not clicking on the link. 

And thanks for updating us about what you found online.
