Expert Opinion
A deceptive text arrives, masquerading as a security alert from a trusted retailer like Coles, but twists the narrative with an OTP meant for a rival's payment—classic red flag for phishing. This tactic preys on confusion and urgency, pushing recipients to verify or click without thinking. Patterns show scammers exploit brand familiarity to steal credentials or funds. Block the number immediately and never share OTPs; they're personal keys to your accounts. Report to authorities like Scamwatch for tracking. If worried, contact Coles directly through official channels to confirm no legitimate request exists. Stay vigilant—legit firms don't demand codes via unsolicited messages.
