CUSTOMERS of mobile network EE are warning others that there is a scam targeting them.

EE customers have received texts saying there is a problem with their bill, but the network provider says these texts are not genuine.

Customer Michael Watson said his wife received one of the texts and alerted EE.

He said: "Do not click on the link. Give EE a call. They are aware of this."

EE has said on its online forum that these messages can be very convincing.

There are several examples in the network's customer forums of messages claiming to be from EE.

Most suggest there is a problem with payment, with a link at the end of the message. 

The texts could look like this:

EE advised that if you receive message like these to forward them to 7726 and it will be looked into.
