Robinhood Security Risk Warning Automated Security Check Anomoly Text Scam

Text message claims to be from “Robinhood Securities” warning that anomalies were found on your account and you must click a special link to complete a security check. The link is not the real Robinhood website. It uses a look‑alike address (www-robinhood.irrieye.com) to trick you into entering your login details. The message also tells you to reply “Y” if the link won’t open, adding pressure to act quickly. This is a phishing attempt to steal your Robinhood credentials.

What’s different in this version

These traits set this message apart from the usual pattern.

Uses a non-Robinhood domain "www-robinhood.irrieye.com" instead of robinhood.com
Urgent “risk warning” about theft to pressure quick action
Instructs recipients to reply “Y” to re-open the link, keeping you engaged
Sent from an international number (+243) unrelated to Robinhood support
Signs off as “Robinhood Securities Official Security Team” to sound formal and believable

How this scam works

1
Step 1: You get an alarming text, email, or call saying a withdrawal/transfer is in progress.
2
Step 2: The message includes a link or phone number and urges you to act immediately to cancel.
3
Step 3: If you click, you land on a look‑alike website that steals your login and one‑time codes.
4
Step 4: If you call, a fake “fraud specialist” asks for your codes, pushes you to move money to a “safe” account, or requests remote access.
5
Step 5: With your access, scammers move your money, change account settings, and lock you out.

✓ 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.
