This is a version of Unauthorized Withdrawal Alert Scam.
Robinhood 'Security Risk' Account Anomoly Detection Scam
Text claims to be from “Robinhood Securities Official Security Team” warning that unusual activity was found on your account. It pushes you to click a link that looks like Robinhood but actually goes to a strange website. The message also urges you to reply “Y” if the link isn’t clickable. This is a classic smishing attempt to steal your login and 2FA codes. What to do: Ignore the text, don’t click the link or reply. If worried, open the official Robinhood app or type robinhood.com yourself to check your account.

✓ Do this
- Check your account by opening the official app or typing the company’s website yourself.
- Call the number on the back of your card or from the official website, not the number in the alert.
- Set up transaction alerts and two‑factor authentication (2FA) in the official app.
- If you clicked or shared info, change your password, remove unrecognized devices, and contact your bank’s fraud team immediately.
- Report the message to your bank/app and forward phishing emails to their abuse address if available.
✗ Avoid this
- Do not click links or call numbers in unexpected withdrawal alerts.
- Do not share one‑time codes, PINs, or recovery phrases with anyone—even a supposed bank employee.
- Do not move money to a “holding,” “safe,” or “verification” account—this is a common scam tactic.
- Do not install remote access software or grant screen‑sharing to someone who contacted you.
