Smishing is treated as an inbox problem. It isn't.
The text can look ordinary. The abuse is in how the message is injected: sender identity spoofed over SS7, A2P grey routes slipping past the SMSC. A content filter reads the words, never the origin or route.
Catching SMS fraud at scale needs signalling-layer visibility, not better wordlists.
