Banking Smishing Scams
 Watch out for these ‘smishing’ (phishing by SMS) scams purporting to be from a bank and claiming that a new device has been paired with the recipient’s bank account. As with all phishing and smishing scams, the purpose of this is to trick you into clicking the link and parting with your banking or other personal details which the fraudster can then use to steal your money.
It’s not just Lloyds Bank’s good name that are being fraudulently used in this scam – this could also come from fraudsters using other bank names. Please be alert and warn others. |
