I have just received this SMS from „Revolut“ and I just wanted to warn you.
It looks like this:
We kindly ask you to verify your account. Use the link below to get verified. https://revolutmobi.com/login/
Have you also experienced such fraud trials or similar? The SMS address is very well faked and so the message appears just within the other real Revolut SMS messages.
I have just now written on Twitter. I don’t know if they can do something against that. Maybe block some ip addresses where they try to get access to the phished accounts.
Then it’s not a fraud SMS. Just wondering where it comes from. Maybe outbank caused it.
Edit: ok it was a fraud attempt and as we have learned some Revolut users did use the link. Ups.
Now you get forwarded to the correct Revolut Site and you don’t see the fake Login panel. someone has already reported this said Mr. Twitter @RevolutApp.
So we can take a deep and relaxing breath now
I have had a similar thing yesterday, while I was actually in Revolut a text message arrived saying my account was locked and asking to confirm security details. From 111.11 pointing me to revoiut.help. Unfortunately I completed the details online. Id like to report it and block my card but cannot, my account IS now locked by Revolut! Any advice?
I would go to twitter and contact them immediately. Either Revolut or the fraudster behind the phishing scam locked you out. You can also block your card via the phone number on the back of the card. You can find this number also on Revolut’s website. But it doesn’t block access to the account, only the card.
I got the same this morning - saying my account was temporarily locked and gave the site revolut.support-uk.co (which I didn’t read properly ) just scanned it and clicked and entered my phone number and passcode I contacted chat thru the app and was told to change my passcode, but I’m not sure they were genuine? Is it possible that they were still the scammer?
Yep, its easy to do isn’t it. I’d suggest contact revolut via twitter @revolutapp if you can and make sure the account is blocked. The scammer will need to get your account linked to another phone to use it. Mine is still being investigated by the fraud team. If you entered any details of other cards you use to top up the account you should get them blocked as well.
Well, via Twitter was a nightmare! But eventually, a chat person offered to call and we had a good conversation. I had changed my pin/passcode and she assured me my account was secure. They’re aware of this big phishing attack. I asked to be updated on what they were doing about it. She seemed genuine, so fingers crossed.
