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?

All, i have spoken directly to the Host provider of the aforementioned website / phishing scammers and they have indeed now closed down said site.

They have also been reported under the National Fraud Reporting Intelligence Framework.

Massage was similar to others quoted on here. The link was to a tinyurl domain in this case.
