How do text message frauds work


    • receive an SMS from an unknown or ‘spoofed’ number. Scammers use technology to make it look like they are messaging you from a company or a person you know (such as ICICI Bank)

    • The SMS creates a sense of urgency to get you to act quickly. For example, it may claim that money has been deducted from your Bank Account or your Bank Account has been suspended


    • The fraudster tries to get you to either respond, click on a link, download an app or call a number to know your Bank Account credentials.

      Here are some tips to help you identify SMS frauds



      • Sender's number: Be cautious of messages from unfamiliar or suspicious numbers, especially if they claim to be from a well-known organisation

      • Urgent or threatening language: They may claim that money has been deducted from your Account and you must take immediate action

      • Spelling or grammatical errors: Many fraud messages contain spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. Legitimate organisations usually proofread their messages carefully

      • Unsolicited links: Be extremely cautious of links in SMS messages, especially if you did not expect to receive such a message in the first place or if the SMS link looks suspicious. Avoid clicking on such link


      Verify the source: If you receive a message from a Bank, government agency or a company, verify its authenticity independently by contacting them through official channels. Do not use the contact information provided in the message.

      Spot the scam: Anyone asking for an OTP is a scammer — companies will never ask you to share OTP with their support or security teams.
