Can money be stolen from my card just by clicking a link in an SMS?

THE CLICK ALONE WON'T STEAL MONEY; ENTERING DETAILS ON A FAKE SITE IS WHAT'S DANGEROUS.
A simple link click leads to a phishing page disguised as a bank or delivery service. Money only disappears if the victim enters their card number, expiration date, CVV, or confirmation code.

How Link Scams Work

Scammers send messages about a missing package, blocked account, or a random prize with a short link. The page behind the link perfectly mimics the official design of a bank or service, capturing all entered payment details in real time.
