ILLINOIS (RFD) — The IRS is warning Illinois residents about a new scam: SMISHING. Clay Sanford from the IRS explains.

SMISHING is like the email scam, PHishing and it takes its name from SMS or SMS Messaging on your phone. It’s when a scam artist sends a text message with a link. If you click the link it can install Malware on your phone and compromise the security of the information on your phone.
