Beware of Vodafone New Message Phishing Scam
A new phishing email pretending to be from Vodafone is at the moment making the round. This scam can make plenty of victims if it hits the right audience as Vodafone has many customers who keep the voice message service activated.
The phishing email is very simple,
"Subject: Vodafone New Message
Dear Customer,
You have one unread Message on your Online Vodafone Account.
VIEW YOUR MESSAGE
Regards,
2014 Vodafone Limited"
The recipient is provided with a link in the mail, which redirects he/she to a fake website identical to the original login page of Vodafone. Once the recipient enters the username and password, the credentials are sent to the crooks behind the scam. These credentials can be used to hijack accounts.
We advise our readers to be vigilant.
