Advanced message scams are not detected by bitdefender mobile security

I have active subscription of bitdefender mobile security and turned on scam alert with full notification and device access. Recently i came across one famous indian instagram influencer story that she got scammed by fake delevery boy just by sending one mobile number prepended with *401*. For ex *401*9825507588 she called this number and it activated call forwarding on her iphone. She lost her all whatsapp, banking, instagram access within minutes. Out of curiosity i just tested same scenario with my mom's android device which also has bitdefender installed. And it did not flag this message as scam. I highly advise bitdefender tech team to take this scenario into consideration and help faithful user by protection us with such kinda scams.
