Thousands of cell phone numbers in Oregon have been targeted in a smishing scam. The scam attempts to get victims to respond with account details related to their Wells Fargo accounts. Smishing attacks are low-tech schemes, yet they prove frustrating for financial institutions. “If you get a phone call, a text or an e-mail, which are the general methods that they use in these phishing attempts, don’t answer,” police Lt. Ken Stenkamp says. The bank should issue very clear guidelines about the way it will communicate with customers, expert says.”]
