The trick it’s trying
OurPower warns that SMS messages saying ‘click this link’ to verify a SASSA grant, update details or claim a payout are phishing. It says SASSA does not send SMS links for verification or login.
SMS phishing messages impersonate SASSA and urge beneficiaries to click a link to verify, update or claim a grant; the link is used to steal ID numbers, passwords, banking details or install malware.
