SMiShing- Scam by text messaging 2012

What is SMiShing?
“SMiShing” is really just another form of Phishing. “SMiShing” occurs when a fraudster sends you a SMS/text message asking you to provide sensitive, personal, and/or financial information via a web link, a false website, or a telephone number. The messages could appear to be from T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, AT &T or other companies you do business with. Please note that cell phone providers will never ask you to “confirm” or “verify” your sensitive personal information in an unsolicited SMS text message.  Links to the pages of the cell phone providers:
