Louisiana Residents Warned to Be Alert for 'Smishing' Scams

Smishing is phishing but with text or sms messages. You may have already gotten one or two on your phone that claim your "Amazon account has been closed" or "this is [Mail Carrier] and we can't deliver your package". In both cases, the smishing attempt is sent via text, and also in both cases, the scammer has provided a link for you to click. Do not click that link.

There have been some reports of smishing attempts that appear to come from a friend. That friend "conveniently" has just gotten a new phone number which is why you don't have it saved in your phone. The friend says they're in "trouble" and need money. You request verification that it's actually them and they send you a "link to a picture".
You get the idea, there are just too many coincidences for you to be comfortable giving out your details or sending money. In the case of the "friend or family member" in trouble, just call the number you have for that friend or family member that's saved on your phone. Chances are they'll answer it and everything is just fine.

With the exception of the elderly, if you’re dumb enough to fall for those texts you deserve to lose your money/identity.

They got me today. It was a link to an article about OJ confessing to his family on his death bed.
Turns out it was that big black guy with the huge dong.
