Expert Opinion
A deceptive message arrives, pretending to be from a family member in distress. Scammers craft urgent pleas like 'Hi Mum, my phone is broken' to evoke panic and extract money or details. The follow-up pushing to 'save this number' and offering an 'opt out' screams fraud—legit contacts don't do that. Never reply or share info; block immediately and alert authorities via Scamwatch. Forward the SMS to your carrier for tracing. Educate relatives on these 'grandparent' or 'mum' scams to stay ahead. Staying silent starves the scammers of success.
