Fake EE Wi-Fi booster prize phishing email
Impersonating: EE
What is this scam?
Scam emails impersonating EE tell recipients they are in with a chance of receiving a brand new Wi-Fi booster as a reward. The link in the email leads to a phishing website designed to steal personal and financial information. EE has no connection to these emails and is not running any such prize promotion.
