What we could do with is some scam the scammers. Was chatting to some of
the people about these vermin and they sometimes look on these sites, it's
a shame we don't get some of these scam the scammers doing it on our sites.
Perhaps EE should employ some of these. Stay safe 👍

Hi @Battgirl83 

I am sorry you have had this message and entered details. 

If you haven't already please change all passwords that use the same log in details if you entered these on the link. 

Please forward the scam text message to 7726. Our Online Security: Avoid and Prevent Scams | EE Help page has information on reporting any scams to our security team

Thanks.

I'm sorry to see how many people are getting caught out with this scam. If you have clicked the link and input details then as others have said contact your bank right away, then report the message to 7726 unfortunately this sort of thing is now so common nowadays and they are so convincing and look like the real deal they are also worded in such a way that makes the recipient think:

"Oh I have to act quickly as I don't want to loose out" 

That's how they catch people out. The best option whenever we receive a Text message, Email or phone call stop think take a few seconds. If in doubt check it out. 

And if it's a phone call your not sure about hang up and contact the company that's supposed to be calling you they will confirm or deny the call.

At the end of the day all you are doing is keeping yourself, money, identity and accounts safe.
