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 @Loubylove,

Welcome to the EE Community.

That isn't a genuine EE website.

If you have shared your card details, please contact your bank as soon as possible to report it.

@ianrobert62 : The only points you'll get if you responded to this msg is the £s taken from your bank a/c. A sure sign of a scam is to "act now or miss it"!

I've had a similar message recently from the number +44 7438 212702 with the below message;

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!

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

EE wishes you a good trip!

I obviously assume this is a scam as it's come from a mobile number and not the standard '150' or 'MyEE' contact.

Is anyone able to shed any light on this?

Hi @HarryH24. 

This is not a legitimate text from EE.

@Glenno3 : Yes & that's all you'll get! Take it any further & you'll be clobbered.

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

Hi @michellefrancis,

Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂

That isn't a genuine message from EE.

Did you share any details with the phishing website?

I thought it seemed too good to be true that EE were giving away something for free. 😂

Hi I got this text. I stupidly clicked the link but might not have touched the screen properly as nothing opened or happened.

I certainly did not enter any info and nothing opened- like I say maybe I did not touch the link properly.

Should I be concerned? Any advice appreciated
