NEVER click on ANY links from email or IN messages you don’t recognize

Never answer unknown calls either, don’t open the door to scams, block/report spam. Don’t be stupid.

NEVER click on ANY links from email or IN messages.

There is rarely any reason to use a link except convenience. The problem is that a good scammer will make you think you recognize the sender.

I have to pay my $6.99 toll because ......

Somebody from a job a couple of years ago put us all on a group messaging - then probably got it read by phishing

now I get messages on my backup phone with idiotic scams - I try to keep blocking them

I must have been stupid at some point, because my junk mail folder keeps filling up with postmaster notifications that emails I did not send cannot be delivered. I assume that means someone has my contact list and is pretending to be me?
