We just received a report for another Paypal Scam:
Sender: 72972
SMS: PayPal: In Ihrem Konto sind Maßnahmen erforderlich. Gehen Sie zu xxxx, um das Problem zu lösen. Antworten Sie mit STOP, um keine weiteren SMS zu erhalten.
Upon investigation, it's apparent that SenderID 72972 has been utilized for over a year now in perpetrating this type of PayPal scam. It does raise a question as to why SMS Firewalls have not been able to intercept it.
Moving forward, we've incorporated this scam variant into the Antiscam Engine of our CodeB SMS app. If you haven't enabled automatic updates, you may need to manually update your app to benefit from this enhancement.
