I have been getting them all week too. They seem to have some problem with their new ID system, they need my credit card number to confirm my account. I have already given them all the ones I have, as well as my parents ones too, but it’s just not going through. Sound like their IT system is totally stressing them out. Poor guys.
I got one of them this morning. I clicked the link out of curiosity, but gave no information.
Besides… I’ve been in close contact with THREE people in the past fortnight, and none of those three have my mobile number. Had they gotten infected, one would have rang me, and the other two would have had to contact my parents.
So… no way this was legit lol

Sure anyone with basic knowledge of URLs will be aware this is fake immediately, but had my brother ask me to check a toyshop to see if it was okay to order from and it turned out the toyshop went out of business and some crowd grabbed the domain and have set up an online store, googling and using trust services would have said this site was legit.
Scam obviously , but I had Tesco mobile for a while and they were as good as any other and better than most. I was given an iPhone locked to Vodafone so swapped over but I’ll be back.
