2025 is the year of more intelligent technology - and, regrettably, more intelligent scammers.
From delivery scams to fake OTPs, cybercrooks are coming up with new ways to cheat users. Let's explore the top 5 SMS scams that are going around in 2025 and how you can stay safe with the TrueSender App.

Fake Delivery or Courier Messages

You might receive a message that reads "Your parcel is pending delivery - click here to accept."
Such links tend to steal your bank information.
Tip: Always check the sender name and never click unknown links.

OTP or Bank Verification Scams

Fraudsters send fake OTP or account verification texts pretending to be your bank.
Tip: Banks never ask for OTPs via text or call. Verify through official banking apps.

Lottery or Reward Scams

“Congratulations! You’ve won ?10 lakh!” - sounds exciting but is 100% fake.
Tip: Do not share personal information or pay to win prizes.

Job Offer or Work-from-Home Scams

Thieves entice victims with bogus jobs and advance fee requests.
Tip: Always check company information prior to reply.

Social Media or Account Lock Messages

These inform you that your "Instagram/Facebook account will be suspended" - and they ask you to sign in through a link.
Tip: Check status on the official app only, never via SMS links.
