Text reporting a problem with my payment

Claybuster · ‎14-01-2024

Received a Text from number 44-7942029260 asking me to contact via http://EE-Paymentpending web app. as there was a problem with my bank payment.

I am sure it would ask to make a payment or similar so I would give my account details.

checked my account and EE confirmed my payment had been received.

[mod edit: removed scam link to prevent anyone accidentally selecting it]

It's a scam! 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 update your a/c.

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