@ElliePerrins : It's obviously a scam! The link in it is not even to EE (domain ee.co.uk).

There are many of these going the rounds. EE would never send you a msg asking you to click on a link in order to access your a/c.

Report spam texts to your network provider by forwarding the text to 7726 (S.P.A.M. on your keypad).

I'll add - no reputable company or organisation would ever ask you to "click here to update your details" or similar.. it's a classic scam technique.

You've done the right thing in checking your account with EE's app or website, and thus disproven the whole claim of this text message. Another excellent piece of evidence for it being spam.

Please report it as per previous post, then delete it and block the number.
