How do scammers impersonate banks to send text messages?

Liars can pretend to be banks and send short messages through pseudo base stations. According to mobile phone security experts, criminals usually use pseudo base station equipment to send forged official service short messages of banks or operators to the public, and induce the public to log in to the website address in the short message for processing on the grounds of "redemption of points for cash", "free upgrade of credit cards" and "redemption of goods when points expire".

In fact, the so-called official customer service sent a phishing website with a mobile phone Trojan. Once a netizen accidentally opened it, and the mobile phone was implanted with Trojan virus, which led to malicious consumption of mobile phone bills and malicious advertising harassment. In addition, it will also record any information entered by netizens in phishing pages, such as bank card number password, payment account password, etc. , will cause property damage.
