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?

Received that same exact text today too, but from this number 07842466819. The link leads to "eecork.buzz", so clearly not official and definitely meant to deceive. Just ignore and report if you can.

That link also doesn't work if you try to investigate via desktop. They've cleverly redirected it to the official website. 

Most, if not, all of your EE messages should come from 150.

Hi @StuBa11 

Welcome to the community. 

Did you forward it to 7726 so that it can be investigated?

when i checked Bank credit card, it takes £1.00 out with 'Google temporary hold' ident. as details are encrypted except for one off transaction CVV number.

Not so cool Bananas today

Hi, I got a text saying I have points to redeem, the link took me to a the ee website and after I chose something it asked me to put my bank details in. I was wondering if it is a scam?

Hi @CoolBananas,

I'm sorry to hear you've received a scam text.

As you've shared your card details, please contact your bank as soon as possible to let them know.

Hi @Katiewaddo,

Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂

That isn't a genuine message from EE.

Please report it by forwarding the message to 7726.

Did you share your bank details with the website?

Definate scam. Don't click on link or give any details. Received about 5 of these texts now from different numbers (which should tell you something) with hrj.buzz/UKEE as the web address.

Block and report as spam.
