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?

Yep I did lol I was unwell in bed for several weeks and was caught out for
a few minutes but decided to give EE and my bank along with law enforcement
and I felt better doing it, we all get caught now and again and felt like a
right plum. Stay safe 👍

It happens to many of us and it happened to me and I used to work on
android phones making them more suitable to how we want to use them, like
getting rid of Google etc. stay safe 👍

Is this message about a reward points a scam

[Ensayers]

I got the text today. Googling it brought me here. I'm with vodafone and previously had the number with O2. Never had EE, so the suggestion that real ee is selling the data can't be true. They're sending the same text to other networks users

Hi just had same scam text seemed legit, nothing from ee to dispute this, oh and by the way it is illegal to sell our data without our consent under gdpr rules which you have to law abide to. How do I go about finding out what information you keep on me and who you have sold too

That's spot on my friend same here, stay safe
