The text usually says there’s some problem, and to click on a link to fix it. But once you enter your username and password, the scammer can get in. "They can change the password, which blocks you out. From getting access, they can drain the account, all the funds. Whatever might have been in that account, they can take possession," said Cray.FOX 26 Consumer Reporter Heather Sullivan spoke with the Greater Houston Partnership about their outlook.- Texts from legitimate banks and businesses usually come from 5 or 6-digit number.
