Message scam about rewards points from EE

Margih62 · ‎09-11-2023

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?

@Swervej : It's a scam! 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.

What a coincidence! You all won 12,739 points!

This website came in a text that said I had points to redeem. - I can supposedly redeem something in exchange for the points I apparently have. Is this legit, or a scam?

Hi @Kirsty0508

Yes it is a scam, there are a few posts now about this with slightly different links.

@Kirsty0508 : It's obviously a scam! The link in it is not even to EE (domain ee.co.uk).

God I would have thought this would have been stopped by now, you have done the right thing by reporting it and as long as you didn't click on any of the links you should be OK on the other hand if you did contact your bank ASAP and they should be able to block any payments made to them it may also be a good idea to cancel your debit card and ask the for a new one.

I looked at what was available for the amount of points do I have to do anything?

Steviewizkid · ‎17-01-2026

As long as you didn't enter any of your bank details you should be fine if you have please contact your bank ASAP they will be able to cancel any payments they have tried to take and will issue you with a new card
