Teething problems, but people need to be aware, the system isn’t working correctly
I’d been wondering why I had started seeing “likely scam” as a contact on some text messages. I thought it was an iPhone thing or something, didn’t realise it was a ComReg thing.
Hopefully just teething issues and they get it sorted out, definitely a step in the right direction.
Well… eight months waiting for a specialist, that’s got to be a scam, right….right…..RIGHT….
Ah that explains why texts from curry’s about a delivery are marked this way
Oh yeah, I got this on a 2FA text from Paypal last week. Was worried for a second there.
The entities were warned in advance, no? It’s the sender’s responsibility to ensure they are registered/whitelisted.
System makes sense and it’ll be a good tool to avoid scams, the legit operators just need to make sure they set themselves up properly.
A text from Irish Water letting me know of a possible disruption in my supply was flagged as likely scam.
I did wonder why my digital payslip notification text from MessagingIE (that used to be DigitalPostbox) was flagged as Likely Scam.
Can anyone link a good explanation of how the mentioned “Sender ID” thing works on a technical level and how/where it’s being rewritten to “LIKELY SCAM”?
I’ve gotten legitimate 2fa codes texted to me from +264 numbers (i.e. from: +264<random numbers>) before that would normally have a lowercase word as the sender. I have assumed that’s either an encoding issue, or the company sending out these sms messages is actually in Namibia and occasionally fails to set the sender ID properly.
