Watch out for the ones that claim they’re from the USPS (US Postal System) stating they have an “undeliverable” package and then ask for for personal information. They’re a complete scam.

I get one of those about every 4 weeks, plus phishing emails at work every other week. The key is the email address of the scammer, it's different from the correct sender's address.

I get a couple of calls a day from "lenders" who want to help me with my IRS tax debt or tell me I'm prequalified for a $44,000 personal loan. Those are deleted immediately.

Ha! Just read your comment and not 5 minutes later got a text message for just that!

That one’s easily recognizable as spam because the number starts with +63!

I got that text yesterday. The country code was the Philippines. Some of the email addresses start off as the same as the name of a real entity, and if you don't view the whole thing you won't see the dot-something else following it.
