Mrs B has received a number of texts today from her contacts lists.

Neither of the folks these purportedly are from say they have sent anything.

Claiming..

I’ve sent you a BT Photo/Video message. Go to https://BT.mms.ee.co.uk, etc, etc.

So, assuming the folks who the message claims to have sent them are not lying, then can we assume click on the link and all manner of malicious nonsense infects ‘phone, email, etc?

Thanks.

Could be that they’ve sent an MMS rather than SMS and her phone isn’t configured properly to open them? Would those contacts be likely to be messaging the same group? (eg. Family, work colleagues, club members)

Someone sent me one of these via Whatsapp. A link to a £250 tesco voucher. Just ignored it.

That would be my suggestion too. I’m always amazed that some folk still use MMS.

I’m always amazed that some people still can’t receive them. (I’m looking at you, mother.)

She can receive them. She’s just ignoring you.

I’ve had some of these from an old mate who died 10 years ago- so pretty sure he wasn’t trying to send an MMS.
Just a link to an obscure site, which I didn’t open.

Could be linked to this?
