After the wave of SMS through the number 610928472, dozens of people have reported a new case very similar to the latter. The SMS in question supplants the identity of Bankia, Banco Sabadell, BBVA and Banco Santander. Specifically, the body of the message is as follows:
Along with the body of the SMS a link is attached that takes us to a supposed page of the bank in question to enter our data and "activate access to the account". The truth is that behind this page there is a whole system of social engineering that will try to get hold of the access data of the victims to steal money from bank accounts. We can see it in the following image:
Just take a look at the address of the linked page. As we can see in the screenshot, the domain is website.umbler.net instead of bankia.es or banksantander.es. The bottom line is that we are dealing with a full-fledged fake website.
