Message scam about rewards points from EE

[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?

[Littlehenny]

Yeah mine came just after I paid my bill cos I suppose it's obvious that when most people pay there bills they have just been paid themselves. If that's how it works to access ya phone where a lot of people do banking and whatnot then they should be found and imprisoned or castrated whatever works.

Wow. I've had my new number for less than a week. I've not used used it anywhere yet, not called anyone, text anyone and I've not signed up to any services with it. 

EE must have a data breach somewhere, how can a brand new number get targeted with spam immediately? 

[brexitant]

Yes it's a scam. I've been told by scam hunters who without these guy's and
gals those vermin would have much larger thefts from us. Just post it up
with the number given. Stay safe 👍

Hello, I stupidly clicked the link and entered my phone number I didn't enter any bank details as I thought I should check it' a scam. I have changed my passwords for EE, bank and email accounts - is there any other precaution I should take?

I've also just received a text stating the same. I'm assuming they will ask for bank details as every reward is 1p.

Yes they ask for your bank details and mobile number

Hi there I have been sent a text telling me I have so many points and I have to use them within 3 days is this true or is it a scam

@Katiemcgraw : Yes. See all the others!

Report spam texts to your network provider by forwarding the text to 7726 (S.P.A.M. on your keypad).
