Transactional or Promotional? We Tell You Instantly

In today's digital age, SMS is still the most widely used communication medium. Bank alerts, OTPs, service updates, as well as offers and advertisements - all arrive in a single inbox.

This is where the real problem begins.

People often guess by looking at SMS:

“This looks right… let’s click”

And that's where the scam begins.

What are Transactional and Promotional SMS?

What is Transactional SMS?

Transactional SMS are messages that:

  • Comes for OTP

  • Bank gives debit/credit alerts

  • Account, payment or security related

These messages are always important and should not be ignored.

Service Update SMS

These messages are for informational purposes, such as:

  • Courier delivery update

  • App or subscription status

  • Notification that a bill has been generated

Neither a scam, nor a promotion - but it's important to pay attention.

What is Promotional SMS?

Promotional SMS usually:

  • Offer

  • Discount

  • Sale

  • Marketing Links

This message is mostly unnecessary, but often scams start here.

Why are SMS scams increasing today?

Previously, it was easy to identify fake SMS:

  • Bad English

  • Unknown Number

  • Clear Fraud Language

Nowadays:

  • Sender ID looks the same as the bank

  • Format is like the original

  • Links look short and clean

That's why people make mistakes.
