Bank Smishing Scams On The Rise

Bank Smishing is a growing problem for all banking segments including credit unions, regional banks and large nationwide banks.

These criminals typically do not target victims individually and instead they use a random dialer to send out the automated text alerts to millions of people. Because of this, many people who do not have an account with the associated "bank" will realize it is a scam and delete the message. However, the con-artists hope people who do have an account will take the bait and fall into their web of lies.
