The **** is a simple text message with a link to claim a $110 ICBC rebate to offset rising fuel costs.
The link leads to a convincing but fake e-transfer type deposit page, with links to fake but convincing online banking websites for most major banks. The websites appear legitimate and require login information and other personal infirmation for "verification" before the money is "deposited". Entering any personal information would probably result in total identity theft and major financial loss.
