[Margih62]

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?

Clicked through and entered my mobile number in query box on a convincing fake EE screen, nothing happened but am quite concerned about this being a severe breach.

Blocked and reported, but would like some further assurance.

I got the same message clicked the link said I had 5400 points. Clicked to see what they had to offer clicked on an item then they wanted name phone number then bank details. Looking at the cheap items on offer gave me the idea it was a scam even more so when they wanted card details. They weren't getting my card details.so I reported it by forwarding it to 7726 and then blocked the number. The last part of the message was also a give away......EE wishes you a good trip!

Unless there's a padlock I don't trust full stop

I too have just received this text today, a couple of hours after upgrading my broadband package. I have never had this happen before. It looks legit, until you compare it to official EE site and they don't match up. Especially the date at the bottom of the page says "2023" and not "2024". This really does need looking into.

No worries 😊

Yes, I have just received it and fallen for it.

What should I do?

I have frozen my credit card
