California Tax Refund Mobile Phish

A new round of mobile phish is imitating the State of California’s “Franchise Tax Board” in a round of phishing sites that are gaining prominence in the past few days. I visited ftb.ca-gov-sg[.]top/notice from a burner phone to see how the scheme works (the page doesn’t load from the Windows browsers I tested.)

After harvesting all of my private information, the site informs me that I had a $1050 refund available. The phish claims that “Bank Routing” is unavailable due to “system maintenance” and offers the option to send my refund via my Credit Card if I just provide the card number, expiration date, and CVV.
