I am receiving tons of scan texts lately. 😂Texts like "your Netflix account has been locked" , LOL, I don't even have a Netflix account. On a couple of occasions, I got so upset that I texted things like "stop scamming people" and then I got a reply with horrible profanity. It's not even worth it. I do have a "report junk and delete message" in red letters that I can use but I feel like it makes things worse (getting more scam texts). I have a ton numbers that I blocked so far, but,I wonder if it opens doors to other scammers.. I also get scan texts at midnight or 1 or 2 AM. This indicates that these scammers are worldwide. I wish there was something that could stop these scammers. Thank you for your video. It's good to be aware. Now I know not to reply STOP when asked. Best thing to do is not to reply at all.

I've been receiving texts claiming that my Netflix account has been locked and to click the link in the text to get my account unlocked. I KNOW it's a 100% scam because I do not, and have never had, a Netflix account. I keep deleting them and the idiots keep sending them, twice a week, usually at 4 a.m., Eastern time (probably from overseas). It's annoying, but I'll continue to delete them until they get tired of sending them, and then they'll stop.

This just happened to me. I was told i was receiving a free gift for paying my bill on time, I’ve actually gotten things , but i had to pay shipping. Well, they just spent over 700 dollars a few days ago. And i started receiving text constantly saying my package is ready for shipping and i just need to give an address . Some even said my full name asking if this was me at my address . Then i got messages saying my phones receiving too many spam text and to “act now before its too late”. I didn’t open any of those of course cause at this point I’m too sketched out. It’s a scary world we live in now, don’t make my mistake. Now i gotta figure out what I’m gonna do about rent tomorrow ha.

Every since the war between Russia and Ukraine started, I've been getting anywhere from 1 to 3 text messages a day. I never got this many on a regular basis. I admit that in the past, I may have selected to $top messages, but never got spam messages every day until now. I do report the spam each time I received a text, but never open any. Still good information to hear and get back to the basics.

He said he was ringing about a suspicious transaction on my card and asked for information in order to put a stop on my card. I know, I’m an idiot. The bank told me if they were ringing, their number wouldn’t show up, it would be a” blocked number”. I hope this might help someone be aware.

This is great information. What do we do about the new attacks that are faking a friend or family member's phone number, especially texts but if their voice is online say from youtube videos, they can use emulator software for voice calls. They prefer texts though. They phish for your personal information like, around the holidays asking for your address, or they tell you there is an emergency and ask you to send them cash cards. They do not need your phone! They hack to get your "ip address" type of bs & emulate the number. The texts or calls appear to be coming from the actual person, but the real person has no idea they're using their number.

Why not make a new rule. Make something to block all numbers, only allow numbers allready in your phone. Make this clear to everyone you give your phone number to. I can only be reached if I have YOUR phone number in my phone allready. So you are not reachable for strangers. After all your cellphone should be considered a PRIVATE phone, not some number every stranger on the planet may call. Lost your phone ? No problem, your provider can give you a new card with your old number.
