smish·ing

noun

the fraudulent practice of sending text messages purporting to be from reputable companies in order to induce individuals to reveal personal information, such as passwords or credit card number

Are you at risk? How to identify threats.

You receive a text message alerting you of a suspicious debit that was attempted on your account with instructions to reply via a link or phone number to validate the legitimacy of the transaction. With this spoofing technology it appears the texts and phone calls are coming directly from your financial institution. The goal is to get you to respond requesting you to provide your account number or online banking credentials to validate your identity. Take care, this may be a SMS "smishing" scam!
