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?

Hi @CjSs1 

Could you send a text message to 7726 please? The message just needs to say the number that called you so that it can be investigated, the message is free.

Thanks

Chris

Hi there

I recieved a text from a number that looks a bit dodgy. 

+447494229845

EE points program reminds you:

Since you are a high-quality user of our company, we will give you some points as a gift. The points will expire in three working days. Please click on the link below to use your points to redeem prizes in time!

<link removed>

(Click the link now or copy and open in Google.)

EE wishes you a good trip!

I tested the link on another device I don't use and it lead to a convincing page but the URL was off. <link removed> it did have a few grammar issues too not to mention I've never heard of a pints system.

Just thought I'd post to make people aware of this.
