Cybercriminals send text messages with an image of the bank's logo, along with a message that claims a large charge is pending in the customer's account.

Other customers have received messages saying a strange bill was paid from their account, while others are being told they owe TD Bank money.

The link in the malicious text message takes users to a mobile website claiming to be TD Bank , asking to provide their user name and password.

Once users enter their credentials, hackers have full access to their accounts and money.
