Phishing messages via email or SMS
Do not reply to unverified messages. Always verify if the sender is a trusted
entity. Block
or
delete suspicious messages with links. Never open these links. Don’t log in with your
username
and password on unfamiliar websites.
Suspicious OTP requests
Never share one-time passwords or OTPs. Bank representatives, telco agents, or
company
support
staff will never ask for OTPs.
Too good to be true offers
Scams lure customers with too-good-to-be-true. These include winning the ‘grand
prize’ of a
raffle you did not join. Be wary of entities asking for personal or contact details or any
form
of payment to redeem prizes or gifts.
Fake rewards redemption
Rewards points can only be redeemed via the Smart App. Smart stresses that it
will never ask
for
credit card information or require payment to redeem rewards points.
