Smishing
A fake text message.
You receive a text message supposedly from your bank informing you of suspicious activity on your account.
- The message creates a sense of urgency and fear in the recipient, so they act quickly and without thinking.
- The link contained in the message leads to a fake website that claims to be the BBVA website.
- False URL.
- The sensitive personal data you enter is then used by fraudsters to access your bank account and make unauthorized transactions.
