We have had some news on an sms scam thats now starting to go around involving a redirect to the Meteor Mobile account login,this will ask you to fill in your credentials on a false page trying to imitate the meteor login and then redirects you to interflora which is a real website..

We have spoke to interflora ourselves and they have confirmed this is an ongoing issue and they are looking into it immediately.They have initially thought it was a random sms sent that a current customer sent by mistake,this is not the case.We also informed Meteor.

You will get an sms stating you have been sent flowers and requested to follow a link to your meteor login page ,here is what the page looks like which is badly rendered.

Here is what the proper meteor webpage really looks like where you enter your login details

reallogin

 

For security reasons we can’t publish the full contact number but it begins with 085 ,we also rang this number and they have told us they have had several calls about this,the number was probably just picked at random.

The link in the sms will look like this below       http://met.2fh.co/meteor/met/

linkmeteor

The real login link for meteor is  –   https://my.meteor.ie/meteor/transactional/login

 

This is somebody looking to get your login details on your meteor account.

IGNORE AT ALL COSTS FOLKS

Meteor have now verified this threat HERE
