How to recognise an attempt at SMS smishing?
  • The number used is an unknown number or is not the one usually used. 
  • The scammers use language that evokes either coercion (e.g. you may be fined if you fail to respond) or urgency (e.g. your account may be blocked, you won’t be in compliance with new regulations, etc.). 
  • You are requested to click on a link in the SMS or to call a telephone number to "verify", "update", or "reactivate" your account. 
  • The SMS may contain spelling or grammatical errors or inconsistencies in the message.
