I’ve been usually getting one a night but last night I got 3. It shows up as a text from something like cs-support.billingissueamazn-information002-ll700-8125.8@luntawebappclogn.eu.
They usually say
ETA: I don’t know why the frick it did that but I’ll keep it. It was supposed to be broken English message about how my Amazon has a “billing issue” and I need to click a shady link to fix it.

I don't get any. Spam gets stopped by some voodoo magic, Verizon or something else. Not sure.

I got a scam usps text asking me to click a link to reschedule delivery the same day I was expecting a delivery the other day. The address was clearly a scammer but I can’t say my wife would’ve spotted it being so perfectly timed.

I got that today and yesterday.
So you don’t think it’s legit?

I get probably 5-10 per week. The fun part is that I'm on call sometimes for work and I'll get woke up in the middle of the night occasionally by a damn spammer

Its been a while since i got one

I'm starting to get a few 'paypal' text scams. It would probably help their cause if they could spell and use correct grammar, and find a way not to include @gmail in the address

I used to get them all the time. I just send them fricked up memes and random gaping a-hole pics from Google. It's slowed down alot since I started fricking with them.

I use Robokiller. It shuts down all of that garbage

They are out of control. Semi normal looking texts saying they are amazon and the account was compromised click here to fix it all phishing scheme.
The problem is old timers start screaming at a cloud and call or text them back and then they get put on the global list of dumbasses.

If I were president, I’d form an elite squad of assassins from Delta and SEALS to hunt down and eliminate spammers and scammers. Licensed to kill, bury or burn the bodies, and move on to the next target.

I’ve expereinced an uptick in spam calls but not texts

I get scam attempts on Linkedin now.

I always just reply with a pic of the big naked black dude. It’s a nice curveball to throw at em, esp the political/roofing texts.
