The Red Flags of Phishing Texts
Watch for these red flags:
1.Unusual phone numbers —your bank will only text from a 4-5 digit number
2.Hyperlinks — your bank will never ask you to log into your account by texting a link
3.Odd grammar
4.Scare tactics and urgent language
5.Texts asking you to open a link
