Text received from +447396898769

to my other phone, it says

EE: We could not process your payment. To continue using your account visit our website:

HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS as we pay regularly, have credit on the account and the last transcation yesterday refreshed all allowances. 

Reported to Action Fraud by forwarding the text to 7726.

Hi @JOMO7,

That isn't a genuine text from EE.

Thanks for reporting it. 🙂

"Click here to do anything payment related" is classic phishing technique.

Especially when easily compared with your genuine online accounts.
