Perhaps every owner of a mobile device received an SMS message from an unknown sender.
It could be spam or an SMS sent to the wrong number by mistake.
And sometimes scammers are involved in sending messages.
Unfortunately, many smartphone users make a serious mistake: they follow the link provided in the SMS.
How should a smartphone owner act?
If you received a message from an unknown sender on your mobile phone, in no case do not follow the link.
The result of such an action may be the receipt of your personal data by fraudsters.
Another dangerous consequence of activating the link can be the appearance of malware on the smartphone.
The owner of the device must ignore the message or refuse to perform the actions indicated in the text.
You can trust only verified senders. And even in these cases, it is better to play it safe: you need to make sure that the message is not sent by someone who only pretends to be an addressee you know.
It is worth noting that the rule “Do not click on a link from an unknown sender” must be observed not only in relation to SMS messages, but also in relation to messages in instant messengers and emails.
