As others have already advised, I simply forwarded the message to: 7726.
Everything about that message screams SCAM!

It should be obvious that eeuk.buzz is not EE's domain. EE's domains would always end in ee.co.uk/ .

I received a similar text today , saying I'm a high value customer and being gifted points but would expire in 3 days. EE would normally text on shortcode numbers or just EE where the number should be, any text from mobile numbers claiming to be EE are usually scam, always check before opening any links.

Hi leanne. I have had the same message come through. I have attached a screenshot.
