Smishing

A fake text message.

You receive a text message supposedly from your bank informing you of suspicious activity on your account.

  1. The message creates a sense of urgency and fear in the recipient, so they act quickly and without thinking.
  2. The link contained in the message leads to a fake website that claims to be the BBVA website.
  3. False URL.
  4. The sensitive personal data you enter is then used by fraudsters to access your bank account and make unauthorized transactions.
