One of our researchers recently received a text from an unknown number saying they were eligible to receive a full refund for an Amazon order. The message contained a link to a URL on t[.]co, Twitter/X's link shortener. Clicking the link led to the domain 267536[.]cc, which hosted an Amazon phishing page.

From this lead, we were able to find many more domains hosting the same content. The actor registering the domains seems to like .cc, the country code TLD for the Cocos Islands.

Sample of the domains:
236564[.]cc
267536[.]cc
671624[.]cc
687127[.]cc
319632[.]cc

Why #Toll #Text #Scams Are Out Of Control

The #FBI has issued a warning against “#smishing”, which are text-based scams that people all over the country are receiving on their #phones. #Scammers are impersonating the agencies and companies that collect money for tolls #parkingtickets, #creditcard payments, bank notices, phone bills. Some scams are even fake anti-scam warnings.
