PostalFurious, a Chinese-speaking phishing group, has been involved in a new SMS campaign. It sets its sights on U.A.E. users, posing as postal services and toll operators.
The phishing scheme involves sending fraudulent text messages to users, requesting them to pay vehicle trip fees to avoid further penalties. The messages are designed to deceive the victims and draw them to a fake website. The URL in the message is shortened to disguise the actual destination of the link, where personal information and payment data of the victims are collected.
The U.A.E. residents need to be cautious of such schemes to avoid falling prey to such scams. Failure to do so could result in financial losses and data theft.
It is recommended to verify the authenticity of such messages before making any payment or divulging data online. Individuals should always consider the source of any message purportedly from a government or corporation, particularly if the message demands an urgent payment or requests information updates.
