Gotr the same text message. Will report this # to NC State Attorney General tomorrow. Shows up at being from [email protected]. Will report this to Verizon as well.
Just did a little research. SmiOne is a pre-paid Visa account. Their website posts the following warning:
Attention smiONE Visa® Prepaid Card Cardholders: Beware of fraudulent schemes that attempt to lure customers to call a fraudulent telephone number and input personal information. Please be aware of fraudulent messaging that may appear to come from a legitimate source. If you receive a call/email/or text from a telephone number different than what is on the back of your card, do not call this number. If you have questions about your account, call the telephone number on the back of your card. Remember to never click on any link that seems suspicious or provide any personal information.
Also received the message from [email protected] (Smi-One(TM))
