Has anyone received a text asking them to click a link to verify details supposedly from Edenred? My OH has received one today unexpectedly and I’ve advised him not to click the link as I suspect it’s a scam. I’ve looked up Edenred and they are a legitimate company who provide services to various organisations such as offering vouchers on the companies behalf to employees for example. This alone sends a huge red flag to me as OH is retired so hasn’t been in employment for some time, and there are scams about that use the legitimate Edenred for their own nefarious means.
I was just wondering if any other GN has received such a text lately themselves? If not, be aware.

My practice is to treat any unsolicited email from a company/organisation that I have not had any business with as a scam and delete it. If it's something that really matters, they'll get back to you.

Sorry, that should have read, "email, text or WhatsApp".

Yes, I agree. OH has forwarded it to the relevant phishing dept and deleted it. I just wondered if anyone else had received a similar scam supposedly from Edenred. If you have, be wary.

Evri frequently, asking for confirmation of this or that. I always delete and report as it’s wasted on me (thus far at least)

I agree with scribbles. For years now I've assumed a scam until its made absolutely clear that it's real.
Suspicious? Moi?
