I received a text from Smart through their usual sender—the same one that sends you load confirmations or alerts when your data promo expires.

Here’s the exact message and attached screenshot:

“Smart reminds you that your Reward Points (6,309) will expire today. Please visit to redeem your gift: https://smrph.top/rewards”

When you click the link, it takes you to a page showing various products you can supposedly redeem (I didn’t get to screenshot this part). But before you can claim anything, it asks you to pay 19 pesos.

I went ahead and tried redeeming a product supposedly worth ₱15,000.

Then, at the final step, it asked for my credit card details.

Shortly after, I received an OTP on my UnionBank account for a transaction worth USD 7,899. I didn’t proceed with it, thankfully.

That’s almost half a million pesos! The credit card they were targeting had a limit of ₱700,000.

Please be careful. This is just for awareness. The message came from Smart’s official account.
