Beer Sheva Warns Residents of SMS Scam Demanding Payment
The Beer Sheva Municipality is alerting residents to a fraudulent SMS scam circulating in recent days. The messages falsely claim residents owe money to the municipality and include a link for payment.
Municipal officials are emphasizing that this is a phishing attempt and urge citizens not to click the provided link, share personal or credit card information, or make any payments based on these messages. The municipality stressed that it does not send payment requests via SMS with links.
Residents who receive such messages or are unsure about any alleged debts are advised to contact the Beer Sheva Municipality directly through its official channels to verify the information before taking any action. This is to prevent residents from falling victim to the scam and potentially losing money or personal data.
