Received a text from [email protected] - your attention is needed. Please contact:2403917581. When I called the number it was a recording stating "I lost my Mastercard debit card, please press#1, if not press #2 to disconnect."
To reduce the number of unwanted email and texts you receive, use these tips:
Be careful about giving out your mobile phone number, email address, or any other personal information.
Read through commercial web forms. Some websites allow you to opt out of receiving email from partners – but you may have to uncheck a preselected box if you want to do so.
Check for a privacy policy when submitting your wireless phone number or email address to any website. Find out if the policy allows the company to sell your information.
Do not respond to unwanted texts or emails from questionable sources. Several mobile service providers allow you to forward unwanted texts by simply texting it to 7726 (or "SPAM") to block the sender. Check with your provider about other options.
my dad just got a text message from "bank of america" with a long distance number, and he doesn't have a bank of america account. thanks simple mobile. must be a scam
I have received an email from this 240-391-7589 phishing scam. It seems obvious to me that it's an attempt to trick us into doing something that will end up with us losing money to a scam.
WHY CAN'T SOMEBODY GET A HOLD OF THESE PEOPLE BY THEIR VITAL ORGANS AND PUT A STOP TO THIS CRIMINAL ACTIVITY?
Color me naive if you want to, but I think a few successful criminal prosecutions with some jail time at the end would get the attention of scammers. Does anybody see either a government or a commercial effort to catch these creeps and put some of them in jail?
