Warning to other users, message received to ID mobile phone…

 

3AlertBill: To prevent account from being innaccesible…… update your payment details via: REMOVED LINK

 

Now as much as I am fairly sure this is a spam/phishing message the thing that I find unacceptable is that there is no option under support to report these messages, you get a support pin listed in your account but impossible to find a way of emailing the message to support, or even reporting it… is this modern day logic, if there is someone trying to con your customers, make it as difficult as possible to report it?

 

BTW, the number it was sent from was: +44 7319 308758

Hello @gombra,

That’s definitely a text scam there.

You can report this here: https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/report-phishing

 

Then you can block the number if your phone has the capability to do so.

 

Kind Regards,

Mohammed
