Sim scam
Hi , I receive a message earlier saying something along the lines of it being from my sim provider. I usually ignore these sort of messages but clicked on it and instead of pressing the cancel option I'm sure I accepted it. I'm now worried this is some sort of scam as I can't find this message anywhere . Is there anyway this can be checked out as I'm now cautious about accessing my accounts. Thank you

Re: Sim scam
, I'm not sure . I don't usually open these messages, don't know what on earth possessed me to do it this time. I'm just worried now that all the details on my sim can be accessed

Re: Sim scam
Hi, it was a message that just came up on my phone while it was locked it didn't have the usual alert sound and said it was from my sim provider. I can't tell you how stupid I feel now and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
