25 Feb 2019
Clothing retailer Superbalist on Monday alerted users that a new phishing scam is doing the rounds via SMS and email.

In a tweet, the South African retailed noted that a “few” of its customers have been targeted by the scam.
Unfortunately a few of our customers have been targeted by a phishing scam. They received fraudulent emails and/or SMSes requesting them to update their credit card details via a link.

Other SMSes are also surfacing, suggesting that users can receive up to 70% discounts by visiting a link.
And judging by screenshots shared online, the fake site linked bears an uncanny resemblance to Superbalist’s official mobile site.
Hey guys, new scam. Do NOT enter your details.

The domain has been blocked and we are investigating further. Please note that Superbalist would never request you to update credit card details via an email or SMS so anything of this nature should immediately be deleted.
