Watch out for a sneaky scam email making the rounds, claiming you owe a tiny £4.27 on your bill. Don’t be fooled! Norfolk Trading Standards has flagged these dodgy messages which ask you to follow a link to “settle the balance”. But clicking could lead you to a fake website, ready to swipe your personal details or even infect your device with nasty malware! 😱

🔍 Here’s what to do if you spot one:

Traffic Updates
1. **Stay Sharp**: If something seems off, it probably is. EE will never ask for your PIN or password through email or text.

2. **Don’t Click**: Avoid tapping on any links unless you’re 100% certain they’re legit.

3. **Report It**: Forward any fishy emails to report@phishing.gov.uk. For anything pretending to be from EE, shoot it over to phishing@ee.co.uk.

4. **Spread the Word**: Let your friends and family know about this scam, so we can all stay safe together!

Whether it’s £4 or £400, scammers will try anything. When in doubt, check directly with your provider using official channels. If you’ve already been caught out, quickly contact your bank to protect your accounts.

Stay safe and savvy, everyone! 💪📱
