Expert Opinion

Heads up: receiving a message that pretends to be a distressed family member is a classic social‑engineering trick. Scammers often claim a relative’s phone is damaged to coax you into sending money or clicking a malicious link. Never share personal details or financial info based on such texts, and verify the story through another channel you trust. If the message includes a short‑code or asks for a payment method, treat it as suspicious. Block the sender, report the number to your carrier, and consider enabling two‑step verification on your accounts to reduce exposure.
