@XRaySpeX - Yes, I realised it quite late. But now it's finally fine and uploaded and you can see the scam. I almost believed this e-mail... 😓

Hi @Whiro,

If you receive spam emails, you should mark them as spam in your inbox. This will alert your email provider and will usually block the sender from contacting you in future.

If you receive a message claiming to be from EE and you're not 100 % sure it's genuine, please send it to phishing@ee.co.uk for email or 7726 for texts.

Alex 🙂
