Yesterday I received an SMS from my home insurance company saying that 
they had registered my claim, go and see it at this link. The URL seems 
the real one, at least visually.

But I had not put any claim, and the site asked for my login/pass. I 
suspected.

Today I entered the insurance site from my records. No claims listed. I 
saw a chat (computer trouble) and I asked. They said it is probably 
phising, delete it. Phone the insurance to ask if I have some pending 
claim if in doubt.

So, the thing is they impersonated the sender. I don't know what is 
wrong in the URL. I have the suspicion that RCS, as it works with 
certificates, could avoid or signal these troubles.

If you a curious, this is the SMS:

«Se ha dado de alta su siniestro 01202600362123, si lo desea realice su 
seguimiento en https://oau.ocaso.es/qmVki-fOZ»

www.ocaso.es is the real, actual URL.
