Texts About Winning a Prize

A tried but true phishing scam, these texts usually promise gift cards from popular companies (Amazon, Wal-Mart, etc.) or announce you’ve won a cash reward – with a malware link included. The text is trying to get you to click the link without thinking, and it remains a common scam because it works. If you didn’t sign up for the giveaway or raffle, don’t believe that you won it.
