Thanks for the information! It’s crucial to stay vigilant against such scams. Here’s some advice on how to avoid them:
1. Avoid clicking on links in unverified or unsolicited text messages, no matter who they appear to come from.
2. If a message asks for personal information, such as bank details or your address, it’s very likely to be a scam. Banks and other reliable organizations typically will not ask for sensitive information over text message.
3. Beware of messages that press you for immediate action. Scammers often create a sense of urgency to scare their victims into complying with their demands.
4. If you’re uncertain, reach out to the concerned company/organization directly using contact information from their official website or correspondence.
5. Install reputable security software on your devices.
6. Report any suspicious texts to your mobile network provider and the appropriate authorities.
Remember, it’s always better to be safe than sorry!
