Revived this text 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 from this number +44 7429 859942. 
how do I report if it’s a scam. Too many people will be falling for this and I nearly did until it asked for payment details. If it was legit wouldn’t EE already have these details due to billing etc.

can someone please help. Down below is the text message I revived. Please do not copy the link just in case.

@Lindsey_J : It's obviously a scam! The link in it is not even to EE (domain ee.co.uk).

There are many of these going the rounds. EE would never send you a msg asking you to click on a link in order to access your a/c.

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

I use a android mobile so don't know if it's different for iPhones ect. Before doing this I often write the number down that sent the suspect message.

To forward a message to 7726:

Open the message app.

Go to the message you want to forward.

Copy the number down that sent the message (I write it down myself).

Tap and hold on the message.

Tap on the three dots (normally top right).

Select forward.

Then select new message and type 7726.

Now hit send.

You will receive a message asking you to reply with the number that sent you the text message.

Type the number you copied ( one you wrote down)

Hit send again.

You will receive a confirmation message
