The Latest in Identity Theft: Smishing 
Identity theft continues to evolve with the latest tactic called “Smishing.” Although the name might sound a bit silly, it’s anything but. Smishing is a scam involving SMS text messaging.

How it works: Thieves pose as a financial institution attempting to trick mobile phone users into sending personal information through text messages or by calling a bogus phone number.

How to protect yourself: if you receive a message you believe is a smishing scam, DO NOT click the links or call the numbers. Immediately delete the message from your phone.
