Haven’t seen that one but I got a text today claiming to be the US postal service holding a package for me.

I just had to click on the link and provide authorization codes after entering in some info… of course I did none of that.

Just a PSA. I feel sorry for older people getting scammed from these.

I’ve noticed a material improvement since I got the ATT active armor app. I think it’s like $4 / month.

iOS, Settings -> Silence Unknown Callers.

And use something like Robokiller. Since I was a kid, I'm a big proponent of just because a phone rings doesn't need to be answered. Text me, email me, but I've already warned you I'm not going to listen to VMs, but you leave one anyway.

I do love how my outgoing VM says specifically not to leave voicemails, but legit businesses continue to try to do it. On Verizon, I just didn't delete 7 year old VMs, so my mailbox was full. T-Mobile apparently has no limit, and I've spent two years trying to get them to disable VM capability completely, to no avail.
