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?

Hi, yes I've received this today at around 13:03pm. I guessed it was a scam and came here to check. 

[Steeeeeee]

Yes it is a scam.  Unfortunately I clicked the link but was told it should be ok?

[Marklj63]

Yes it is definitely a scam. It looks like an EE site but it isn't. Check
the hyperlink.

Note the 'buzz' part

@Marklj63 : It looks from here remarkably as the real EE site: https://ee.co.uk/

[Steeeeeee]

Yes, that's the one.  Did you click on it?  Unfortunately I did.

I got the scam message yesterday gave my details to get thee reward then realised ee would never ask for 1 penny, phoned the bank and cancelled my card, so the scam is still running

It's good that more and more people are reporting these scammers. Just
watch out these vermin will try again coz they're have ya mobile number.
When I was with Giffgaff they had the O2 number, makes ya think 🤔 how they
get ya number. Stay safe 👍

[brexitant]

Yeah I was with o2 and more or less exactly the same scam with what
happened with EE. What we could do with is some more scam the scammers to
hunt these vermin down. Stay safe 👍

Yeah they create a mirror site, the same that happens on all the
mobile sites, I had it also on O2 and a few people I know had it on 3.
Scumbags ain't they. Keep safe 👍
