Quick post to say that my cell has been getting more and more of these things. This morning’s was an automated message allegedly from my bank’s fraud dept, stating that they needed confirmation of suspicious charges on my card ending in (correct last 4 digits). A quick google of the originating/call back number revealed it to be a scam, and calling my bank’s listed number confirmed it. I’m getting a couple of texts or calls a month now it seems. And I only use my phone for texting family, friends and students—and emergency calls. No internet to speak of unless it’s getting directions or a forecast.
Posting both FYI, and RFI, just out of curiosity as to how widespread this stuff is around the country.
Have agreat weekend, folks.
