New Text Scam - very convincing if you're not thinking!

Let me guess, it just says, "I'm from the Government and I'm here to help you."

Democrats just eat it up.

As a former Private Investigator who specialized in skip tracing, I used this ruse a # of times. Had one case where 4 other investigators had worked the case, but could never pinpoint exactly where the subject lived or anything else. All we had was her cell phone #. So, I called, left a message (A to Z Delivery!) and left an 800 # that was actually my trapline. It would capture the # the subject called from, along with address and gave the subject chance to leave a message. She did, outlining the fact she was working at xyz company, drove a school bus in the morning and would be at a specific address after work. Works like a charm on most, as most folks don’t actually pay attention to what is going on around them.

I received a text from my wife, telling me to leave the strip club and come home for dinner.

Yeah...like I am falling for that one!

I received a text saying “your package is at our fulfillment center but there is a problem with the address you need to correct”. I had nothing on order or pending so I texted back “you don’t say”. and blocked the number.

I have been seeing emails from Fed-X, UPS, USPS, DHL, etc. saying they have a package for me and I need to arrange delivery. Watch out for these. Sender’s address not even close to reality.

Also be careful of emails saying you won a prize. SCAMS are everywhere lately.

In my town the postmaster will just stop by the house and drop the package, say hi and chat for a bit.

He even came by on Christmas Eve once. I offered up some special eggnog, but he gracefully passed.
