RE: Watch Out For SMS Spoofing .:. Ph's Shorts 🩳

What they did to you probably wouldn't hurt you at first, unless it's a premium number, so it costs you a lot to call.

I remember watching a YouTube video where the guy recorded a telephone call with "allegedly" a Coinbase support technician... You wouldn't believe the level of sophistication from the guy from the other side... I mean, I suppose I would realize the scam at some moment, but anything can happen...

And yeah, responding on that kind of messages provokes an avalanche of similar ones in the future... The same as trying to unsubscribe from a mailing list where you didn't subscribe at all... You are just giving a signal that you are using the email, which leads to even more spam... 😃

All in all, this was a very sneaky phishing attempt, combined with my personal circumstances, could have gone wrong...

All in all, wanted to share with others to know about these kinds of things... SMS spoofing can be used in different and more dangerous ways...
