It's a type of scam where cybercriminals send text messages that appear legitimate. They impersonate banks, companies, or known services to get the victim to click a link or share personal information.
The goal is to gain access to confidential data in order to commit fraud. And the more convincing the message, the greater the risk of falling into the trap.
The SMS mentions an issue with an account, an unauthorised charge, or a pending action. The tone is usually urgent and designed to prompt a quick reaction.
That link redirects to a site that mimics the official website of a company or organisation. At first glance, it looks real.
On the fake website, you're asked to enter passwords, card numbers, or other sensitive data. By doing so, you're handing this information directly to the scammer.
Scams are often disguised as emergencies or threats. Be especially wary of any urgent requests for details or payments.
Keep calm, use your common sense, and if you think you might be a victim of fraud, get in touch with CaixaBank immediately through the official channels: Wall or by calling 938 87 25 25.
