Warning over mobile phone phishing scam texts

A CYBER crime centre has warned the public to beware fake texts purporting to be from a mobile phone company.

The messages claim the user has an unpaid bill from EE — and the link leads to a phishing website designed to steal log-in details and other personal information.

Action Fraud said: “Don’t be tricked into giving a fraudster access to your personal or financial details. 

“Never automatically click on a link or attachment in an unexpected email or text.”
