They also note that these malicious messages may appear in the same conversation as legitimate messages that have already been sent by GESY to beneficiaries.
The OAY and the Police emphasize that the Organization will never request via SMS any passwords, login credentials, payment details, or other personal data via SMS, nor will it ask citizens to conduct financial transactions via electronic links.
Finally, they urge citizens who receive such messages not to open the links they contain and to delete them immediately.
