scam text

[habitus]

Text message at 3.00AM. From a mobile number  claiming they couldn't achieve  payment of my bill and asking me to 'head over' to a a site with EE in the URL. I don't have a bill, I'm on PAYG which I pay for when I top up! Was this a scam?

Hello @habitus 

The message you received was a Scam

If you report the Message and Number to 7726 so they can investigate.   Block the number too.

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 access your a/c.

Does it have a link in it that it tells you to click? Don't go there but what was the link?

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

yes, this number is a scam. last night at 3:44 am i got this message. and how i know this account is a scam because im not even on EE!  i’m on sky which is a contracted account. so watch out for this message. do not press on the link. and do not reply. block+report is the best option. stay safe!
