New Cell Phone SMS Phishing Attempt
I got this text message today:
From: 3710
Subject: 003@tmomailnet / / Message:C
Message: Co-Op-Service: 462562xxxxxxxxxxx-Frozen.Cal 866.360.8725
I googled around, couldn’t find anything similar to this message that anyone had received, nor any message of the 866 phone number.
So, I called it. Turns out that it tells you that your credit card account has been frozen, and that you need to enter your credit card number and a bunch of other stuff in order to reactive your credit card.
This is of course not true.
I’ll try to record the automated 866 number message later tonight.
