Number overview
050-3133-5964 is a phone number used in a phishing scam that impersonates Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) by sending fake SMS messages claiming "your account is restricted" and leading to a fake login site.
Reported tactics
- The SMS reads, "This is SMBC. Your account is currently restricted"
- Tapping the link in the SMS leads to a fake SMBC login page
- The fake site prompts you to enter your account number, PIN, and one-time password
- The captured information is used to make unauthorized transfers
SMBC does not notify you of an account restriction by SMS or ask you to enter login information at a linked URL.
How to handle this
Don't open the SMS link
Never tap a link in an SMS claiming to be from a bank. Delete the message.
If you already entered information
Contact SMBC immediately at 0120-56-3143 (24 hours) to suspend your account.
