Yes I had a few around December time got sick of them reported them to my local EE shop when I was in their ended up blocking the numbers on my phone haven't any more since.

 

I got a message saying I've been rewarded  ee points. I clicked on the link. Saying I could send points on a smart watch. Done that and had to enter my bank details. Done that but nothing was confirmed after. So is it legit or not ?
