Spot and Stop Smishing Scams Before They Steal Your Info
Scammers are becoming increasingly clever with text message phishing, commonly known as "smishing." These messages may appear to be from legitimate sources like your local toll service, tax office, or postal provider, often claiming you owe money or must pay a fee immediately. They may even include real logos and convincing language. However, don’t be fooled. The following tips can help you stay safe:
-
Pause Before You Pay. If you receive a message about an unpaid bill, fine, or fee, resist the urge to act. Instead of clicking links, visit the organization’s official website or app to check your account status.
-
Don’t Trust the Link. Smishing messages usually contain shortened or suspicious links. Because you cannot hover over a link on your phone to preview it safely, the safest approach is to avoid tapping on such links altogether.
-
Be Wary of Urgent Language. Scammers often use panic-inducing messages to trick you. Texts that demand immediate payment or threaten penalties are red flags—legitimate organizations do not use scare tactics via SMS.
-
Protect Your Information. Never share personal or financial information through a link in a text message. These fake websites are designed to steal your credentials when you enter them.
-
Stay Alert, Stay Secure. If something feels off, it probably is. Delete suspicious messages, report them if possible, and keep your phone and personal information safe from scammers.
Smishing can be deceptive, but being cautious helps protect you.
