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?

Yes I got one today. Saying I have 12,000 unused points which will expire in 2 days.  The website looks really convincing but I didn't think it was real because the rewards they are offering are worth a lot of money.  So I googled it.  And here I am.  Glad I didn't fall for it.

What if the link has been clicked on?

Did you enter any personal information like bank details or name and address? If you did provide your bank details I would recommend you contact the bank ASAP and tell them what happened and they will check your account to see if any payments have been taken and put a stop to them you also ask them to replace your bank cards.

No I didn't enter any personal details.  I knew it was a scam.  I googled it, confirmed it was a scam, and deleted it.

Yes this happened to me and like an idiot I fell for it. Fortunately my bank spotted it before any real damage was done . First time I’ve ever fallen for a scam but it was so realistic

I agree it was super realistic!
