Moldovan Post warns of rising 'smishing' scams in SMS messages
Moldovan Post has issued a warning regarding the increasing frequency of "smishing" attacks—deceptive SMS messages designed to solicit personal or banking information from users.
Scammers are using fake messages that appear to be from Moldovan Post, redirecting victims to fraudulent websites to obtain sensitive information, including bank details.
The institution urges citizens not to click on links contained in these messages and to always verify the authenticity of communications through Moldovan Post’s official channels. Additionally, the public is advised not to disclose sensitive information via SMS and to remain vigilant against suspicious requests. If anyone suspects they have been targeted by such an attack, it is crucial to block the suspicious number, contact their bank immediately to prevent potential financial losses, and monitor account activity closely.
For any concerns or to confirm the authenticity of a message, Moldovan Post recommends reaching out to Customer Support at the dedicated number 1310 or the landline 022 27-00-44.
