Hi is anyone else getting messages supposed to be from EE saying they've got thousands of rewards points that's going to be lost in 2 days if they dont click on the link to spend them?

I have tried to both forward and screenshot to 7726 but the messages won't deliver

Hi @HVMK.

Are you forwarding the original message when sending it to 7726?

First I tried that and it wouldn't send to that number.

So I took a screenshot and it said that mms could not be delivered to that number.

Thanks for getting back to me @HVMK.

I will flag this to the relevant team.

There's been a few similar posts recently, the giveaway is that an EE promotion would refer to their website ee.co.uk - which this doesn't.

You can report this text by forwarding to 7726 (SPAM on your phone's keypad)

I tried to report as scam to Google. They said the forward it to your carrier and there is a charge. Is that too a scam?

@B_byrne : There's no charge for forwarding the texts to 7726.
