Scammers have evolved from email phishing to text message phishing.
Various tactics used in text phishing include fake giveaway notifications, package delivery updates, false purchase confirmations, and fraudulent credit card offers.
The aim of text phishing is to deceive individuals into sharing private information like usernames, passwords, date of birth, social security number, or credit card details.
Text phishing attempts often involve deceptive links that lead to requests for sensitive information.
