Scam text

I received this text today, I think I'm right in assuming it's a scam, I hope so as it's been deleted.

Scam?

@Slowgun It’s a scam, forward the text to 7726 (SPAM) and then the number when prompted

To contact EE Customer Services dial 150 From your EE mobile or 0800 956 6000 from any other phone.

Slight problem here, I've deleted the text message from my iPhone.

The only copy is in messages on my iMac. I've followed the instructions from Apple how to forward a message from a iMac ( ie select message then control+ click then select Forward). The list of options I get does seem to contain the option to forward the message.

Do you have any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

Two additional points here.

1: By virtue of the text being received, you have mobile network service. Therefore at best, "suspended your account" can only mean "calls being restricted".

2: The URL listed in the text message is not the ee.co.uk official website. No reputable company in any industry would ever ask you to "click here to update" anything - classic phishing technique.
