SPONSOR'S CORNER
Rise of the Robotexts: When it comes to texting scams, the key is knowing how to respond - and when not to
|
A message from our sponsor BankOnITUSA:
Scammers are always trying to find a way into your life. Just when anti-spam technology started to limit the number of robocalls we get (cut down by almost half over the past year), fraudsters started sneaking into our phones through another window — our text messages.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently reported that consumer complaints about unwanted texts have nearly tripled since 2019 and some independent reports estimate the number of monthly robotexts in the billions.
Some of these are just spam, but many of them are scams — known as “smishing” — and they arrive in various forms, usually trying to alarm you about undelivered packages, unpaid (or paid!) debts or bills, problems with your bank account or credit cards, and even warnings about legal actions against you. Most smishing is designed to harvest personal information, while some might be more directly after your money.

Friends of Traditional Banking is a non-partisan grassroots effort organized by bankers in 2012 to improve the political and regulatory environment for the traditional banking industry in the U.S. FOTB is the inverse of a PAC--instead of spreading a little bit of money to a lot of campaigns, they focus a lot of money on a couple of key campaigns.
