What is an SMS or Email phishing scam?

Phishing scams are when you receive a message from a well-known company that looks legitimate, but is fake.

They may look like they come from your bank, your telco provider, or even one of your Facebook friends, but they’re cleverly designed to trick you into clicking on a link and providing your personal details. Phishing can take place via email, text, or even social media posts and messages.
