Is this M&S text genuine?

Annoyingly my android phone doesn’t have that option. However, I can block this particular sender, whoever that may be!
I am sure there will be others 🙄

Yes, you are right, but what made me unsure is because both ‘offers’ have actually cropped up via genuine emails!
Not interested in either of the offers fortunately.
Some people I am sure will be fooled. 😥

Scam. Press "report and delete". I had a similar one from another "reputable" company. Sadly it's becoming more frequent.

One of the clues that it is a scam is the link. M&S or some close variant would appear as part of it if it were genuine. It would not be pure gobbledegook.

Anyone else had a text like this from M&S? This is the second one I have received recently, again from M&S, but a different offer. It’s annoying if I have to text ‘STOP’ if I want them to stop, as I have had to pay before A different company, and can’t remember how much, it was a few years ago.
Have reported it as phishing, but not too sure!

Definitely a scam, but don't hit the 'stop' message as then the scammers will know that your mobile number is active. I made that mistake once and was deluged with different messages from the same source 😡

I think it looks like a scam.

I only get promotional emails from M & S

Definitely a scam- just ignore.
