Text Scams

Text scams refer to fraudulent messages sent via SMS or text messaging platforms with the intent to deceive recipients. These scams often aim to steal personal information, such as passwords or financial details, or to trick individuals into sending money or disclosing sensitive data. The messages usually contain enticing offers, urgent requests, or misleading information that prompts users to click on malicious links, respond with personal details, or take other actions that compromise their security. Text scams can take various forms, including phishing attempts, lottery winnings, fake job offers, and impersonation of legitimate entities. Awareness and vigilance are essential to avoid falling victim to such scams.
