Warning SMS crooks hit slick as official account 🤔

# Grow up and know that

Update the situation fresh, everyone. Yesterday we just met ourselves after a long silence. Now, the crooks SMS, also called Smishing, are back on the outbreak. This time it came in the hit concept, "Stale the Fines," but the attempt to hit the slick is a message that was included in the same Thread as our real Official Account! 😱

So today we took the data and showed you exactly what happened, why the hoax message was included with the real message, and how to deal with it. 💛

Why does fake SMS get into Official Chat? 📱

Many people may wonder why our mobile systems allow fake messages to mix with real OTP. The answer is that crooks exploit the vulnerability of sending SMS through a foreign network by naming the sender ID to match that brand or agency. Our mobile operating system, whether iOS or Android, will group the messages according to the "alphabet name" without checking who the real sender is. As a result, fake messages are pulled into the same chat window as the real message, allowing us to reduce caution and trust.

Fake SMS observation point. Where to see? 🧐

1.Context: Like us, the sender uses the name "Google," but the content is a penalty, which is not consistent at all. "Eh" is easy.

2.URLs are not official web: usually a strange link ending in .cc, .xyz, or a link that has been shortened.

3. Create panic: Like to use words that cause us to rush to make decisions, such as suspend accounts, take urgent action, freeze fines.

4. Request for Personal Information: The real agency will not ask us to enter OTP, password or account number through the link in SMS.

How to cope (Do & Don't) 🛡️✨

The safest iron rule is that if you encounter a strange message, whether it is a reward notification, a discount coupon, unsuccessful delivery or a problem account, do not click any link.

If you are not sure, use the call center directly. And most importantly, don't forget to press Report and Block those strange messages as a cyberprotection aid.

📍: AOC Center, online hotline 1441 24 hours a day, official bank / agency or 1212 hotline complaint center (ETDA), but from the DEA, if the money is lost is irrevocable or very difficult 😭, so we have to, uh, and be careful. Notifications only help not to be damaged further.
