Phishing SCAM by SMS text alert!!

Post by Cas & Irene »

Just received a SMS text message in Spanish from " Homelidays" with a goo.gl short link to a fake inlog screen from Homelidays

The browser gives the URL as showed below. (the URL is not complete!!!!)
.
Never got a SCAM like this. They use my first name and a very close name to Homeaway!!

We are not mentioned on Homelidays and I look always very secure what the URL showed in the browser.

Got this morning phone call in Spanish for information ... could be a coincidence but .... feels very personal with my name in the URL!!

yes, I just got one too, I'm also with Homelidays.es. I recognised it as a scam because the wording was too generic ' you have received an enquiry for your homeaway property. Click here to view it'
