I want to report on social engineering hack attack that is targeting users, which I just observed

[mikalai]

Around hour ago I received on my number xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx two sms messages. One message states that my card on file expires, and another one says to go to url that looks very legitimate something like selfservice.publicmobile.ca.
Note how myaccount subdomain on publicmobile.ca is a place where real account is present, where I just logged in.

Please take a look. This really looked legit.

A hypertext link can be disguised to make it look as if you're going to a specific website, but when you open the link, it may very well take someone to a different website.

hi @mikalai 

honest, nothing much you can do, and carriers can't do much either.   Just ignore calls you don't know

@mikalai , this does sound like a phishing scam.  Public Mobile text messages tend to come from short codes.  The eversafe ID is from an 833 area code.
