For many years, the pre-Christmas period has been characterized by increased activity of various internet fraudsters, who try to lure you into their clutches with various options, including sending fraudulent SMS messages. Although these are less widespread than fraudulent emails, it is true that these fraudulent text messages seem more trustworthy to many people, which can lead toonec a real mess will arise. The Czech Telecommunications Office also drew attention to the issue of fraudulent SMS messages a few hours ago and reminded that they can be defended against with the help of operators.

The Czech Telecommunications Authority specifically warned users about the possibility of actively defending themselves against fraudulent SMS messages on X. If you receive a suspicious or apparently fraudulent SMS containing, for example, suspicious links or misleading information about the sender, you do not need to ignore it. You can forward it to the special number 7726 (use direct forwarding, not screenshot). This service is free and the operators check the messages reported in this way. This allows them to take action such as blocking the sender or notifying domain administrators of suspicious activity. By forwarding suspicious messages, you help increase the security not only of yourself, but also of other users.
