The Flubot is so named as the scammers attempt to place virus or malware onto you mobile phone. Once installed, they can track and steal data.
How it works
You may receive a text message about voicemails, missed calls or, more recently, parcel deliveries from Australia Post, DHL or another reputable organisation. All messages will contain a link and instruct you to click the link or download an app to check a voicemail, track a parcel, schedule a delivery time etc.
Remember: Never…
Click on any links or call back the person who has sent the text. Delete the message immediatelyto ensure your personal and personal information isn’t put at risk.
