FluBot Scam is a text message scam where users receive a text message from a sender pretending to be a well known Delivery courier or Bank or some other services. The message will basically contain a url asking enticing the users to click on it and install an app on Android. Once installed the app will have access to your phone and will send more messages to contacts on your phones.
