catsidheI just (like, literally five minutes before I posted this) got an SMS, which came up as a “Push Message” in my Samsung. Apparently on Nokias it displays as being a “Service Message”... no other sender details. The subject is “Video Message”
The contents are:
Naturally, I was suspicious, so I googled for “SMS video w03.v762.net”, and found that this is a known scam.
Summary: if you see this SMS plop into your inbox: DO NOT FOLLOW THE LINK.
Be safe out there, people.
