I Suppose This Is A Scam....

[nailit]

Have googled the number but nothings coming up.
Had a text...

(EE): The payment for your
most recent bill couldn't be
processed, please verify your
billing details within 12 hours
or services will be stopped.

The number shown is [phone]

Normally if an unknown scam number is searched it will show up in 'whocallsme' & other websites etc. And needless to say I havnt clicked on the link. (and why would EE contact you from a mobile number anyway?)
Just curious as to why there are no google searches showing this number.
Interestingly, I had a 'silent' phone call last week from an unknown mobile number, lasted for a few seconds.

Obviously a scam but a curious one....

If you have any doubts, ring EE yourself from the number you have already. Just don't respond to any links or numbers given x

Obviously after removing any personal details or dodgy links.

I had the same text. It is a scam.

[Peter Pedant]

That domain name was only created at 2.21pm today. Despite that, it's already being flagged as 'dangerous' by my browser. (Here's a screenshot: https://ibb.co/TT9npf7 )

Had similar. Ignore it is a scam.

Thanks all, new as much, just curious as to why the number is not showing on scam websites yet but guess its a new one (as per Chris's link) so wont just yet.
Guess theres no connection then to the 'silent' mobile number call a few days ago?
Always a bugbear to receive a silent phone call....

I've had several scam or silent calls -- we don't answer if we don't recognise the number, and they never leave a message. The number is never recognised by "who called me?". I suspect they can change the number they appear to be calling from every time they make a call, to stop their number appearing as dangerous on "Who called me?"-type websites. Can somebody more knowledgeable than I am confirm or deny my suspicion?
