scam alert so scammers are sending fake texts saying mobile phone ops are giving away prizes and if u dont act fast u lose points... meanwhile they just wanna steal ur money
i think its crazy that ppl dont report these msgs to the "report spam" feature on their phones
its like, literally one tap away from getting scammedEE & Vodafone are all like "nope we didnt send those texts"
but they should be doing more to block these malicious msgs 
anyway here's a simple flowchart of what u should do if u get one of these fake texts

. dont click on the link, report it ASAP w/ ur phone's spam button or forward it 2 7726. and if u've already given ur info away online, contact ur bank n report it straight away 
. These fake text messages are just a variation of the same old tactics, preying on people's impulsive nature to get them to click on something suspicious. I'm surprised they're still using this "urgency phishing" trick – it's so predictable. Can't we just block these numbers like we used to with caller ID back in the day? 
And what's up with mobile phone operators not doing anything about it? They're basically just playing along...
people need to be more careful when clicking on links from random texts! Scammers are getting smarter and using tactics like "urgency phishing" to trick us into giving away our info. Why haven't phone operators done something about blocking these fake texts yet? Interesting how EE is trying to work with Apple and Google but no action's been taken 
but we gotta stay one step ahead 
like how we wouldn't fall for a phishing email without checking the sender's email address first, we shouldnt click on those links from suspicious texts either 
anyway, if u receive one of these texts, dont be a hero, report it ASAP!
