Thailand SMS phishing scam

[ajarntingtong]

 

Received these two SMS messages this morning. The branding at the top is bogus, and both lead to a scam website. You would be best to avoid clicking thru and blocking the sender on your phone. Under no circumstances click on anything on the underlying website. It is an attempt to get the unwary to reveal sensitive information like names, email addresses - or worse. 

I was not impressed when I was awakened by music blaring at 2.54 am this morning - don't know how, but the notification sound for SMSs was changed from the low-key default tone to music on phone. Half asleep, I just turned off SMS notifications for the time being and so didn't hear the second come in at 5.47 am.

Why doesn't phone users close their phones when going to sleep?

Any number of reasons, but that is my business. Suffice to say that the low-key default SMS notification sound has never woken me.
