I'm getting a different one sent to me now whichI've posted below.Is this happening to anyone else who clicked the first one claiming to be T-Mobile? I wonder if the linksare related in any way? No, but I originally opened the link (technically with the curl command )from a Linux box in far east Asia. Not sure if that threw their wholething off track. It's worth mentioning that I added some spam block thing from the T-Mobile site and take over protection on my line for now. Might just switch to Verizon. T-Mobile didn't take me serious when I called them about this and either didn't know much or care to know much.1Ver0likes0ComentariosRe: Is the $100 T-mobile reward a scam?

I watched something about a program called Pegasis and some of the most dangerous malware comes assingle click scams like this one where it runs something malicious upon you clicking the link. So far my phone seems fine but I'm sure it would run in the background had anything installed. Hopefully someone finds out exactly what clicking it does soon, I'm worried I'm currently at risk.

Honestly, most links have an objective like getting you to give personal info, financial info, etc. I am actually worried this thing installed something on my mobile device or it's unique link is being used in conjunctionwith the T-Mobile breach to further help attackers take over your phone number or SIM to break into you bank accounts etc. I would really like T-Mobile to get some outside security exports to examine the links to determine their goal. I am not really feeling T-Mobile right now and have mind to switch carriers because I just don't feel safe on T-mobile.1Ver0likes0ComentariosRe: Is the $100 T-mobile reward a scam?
I received this text as well. I was investigating the link on a virtual machine outside my network and still managed to accidentally click on the damn link on my phone. I found it very strange it didn't really appear to do anything except take me to google.com but in the UK. My network was connected to a different country so that is strange. After that it resolves to a 403 error when you reload it on the same phone. I did add some cookies to my-rewarz.com (or something like that) From the VM I can see the domain was in Reykjavik it rans some javascript and that then went to a server in Belize (I think). Anyone else click on this stupid link? I need to know what the objective was since I clearly ran the damn thing. I feel like it was either to confirm something or run a payload on the device.1Ver0likes0Comentarios
