A local woman lost about MOP8,600 after falling victim to a phishing text scam, police said yesterday. The Judiciary Police reported that the victim received a fraudulent message on May 27 claiming her water service would be cut off. She clicked a link to a fake utility website and entered her mobile number and credit card details to pay an alleged bill. Later that day, she received a bank alert showing overseas transactions. Suspecting fraud, she reported the case. Police said the investigation is ongoing and urged residents to verify messages before making payments.
