Watch out for this sms · impersonating FNB First National Bank

The trick it’s trying

A fake transfer notification says a R15,800.00 transfer has been approved but requires a R1,777 transfer fee, attempting to make the recipient call a fraudulent number or pay the fee.

Smishing message impersonates FNB, claims a large transfer is pending/approved, and demands an upfront fee or callback to a scam contact.
