Day Job Computers
SMS examples from "Amazon" and "Netflix"
If you happen to receive texts similar to the ones below, please DO NOT click on the included link. Be very careful and ALWAYS ask someone for a second opinion before doing ANYTHING.
There are several telltale indications that these texts are fake. I've also included a few harmless steps you can take to "test" them. When in doubt, DayJob is always available to ask.
#1 - Look at the source. Are there missing letters/numbers? This is done to avoid being flagged/filtered.
#2 - Google the main part of the URL they tell you to click. Google will tell you if the site is real and if it's safe.
#3 - Log into your account for verification. If MFA is available, strongly consider it.
#4 - Is there a reference to an undesirable action and/or reward accompanied by a deadline?
