[QUOTE="BigWave, post: 623084, member: 6786"] I'm ashamed to say that I was a victim...... I received an SMS from KDL that said my delivery was not successful, and that I should click on the link to re-schedule a delivery. I was expecting one although not from them so i stupidly clicked on the link. NEVER do this unless you're absolutely sure of the account. This then enabled the link to download malware to my iphone, which would lie dormant until I logged onto a bank account. At the time I logged into my bank account, it went active, hacking my account and transferring money. I luckily saw the transactions (after notification of suspicious activity from CBA SMSs), and immediately contacted the bank to shut down my VISA and NETBANK accounts. My new VISA card will be sent within 7 business days, and my NETBANK account hopefully re-activated next week. The bank will challenge $2.3K of transactions from my account, though this make take several weeks. I'm hoping...... I've learned a new lesson to NEVER click on a link sent via SMS unless you're sure of its origin. Read more of these scams on the internet. [/QUOTE]
