LANSING - Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is sharing reminders
from her Text Message Scams: Smishing Consumer Alert as Verizon
customers are warned about scam messages from their own number.

Smishing is when scammers send text messages pretending to be from
trusted sources. The goal is to get targets to respond with personal
information like passwords and credit card details or to click on
links that install malware. It is just like phishing that uses emails;
instead smishing uses texts.

The company told The Verge earlier this week, "Verizon is aware that
bad actors are sending spam text messages to some customers which
appear to come from the customers' own number. Our team is actively
working to block these messages, and we have engaged with US law
enforcement to identify and stop the source of this fraudulent
activity. Verizon continues to work on behalf of the customer to
prevent spam texts and related activity."
