Phishing occurs when scammers send emails impersonating to be from a trusted source, often to coerce you into performing immediate and urgent actions that include:

SMiShing is a type of phishing where the message is sent via text messages urging similar immediate actions.

Once you interact with these messages by clicking links or opening attachments, you may be asked to enter sensitive information such as banking credentials and passwords. Malware could also be installed on your device or you might receive a call where scammers attempt to convince you to share personal or banking details with them.

Scammers may use this information to access your bank accounts to make unauthorised transactions online.
