I received a text from someone claiming they won a large lottery and were sharing $50k with 100 people if I would reply. I did not, but thought I would share here.
Now Im only sharing with 99. suckka...
Scammers are trying all new kinds of schemes. I recently got a legitimate email from Paypal saying that I had an invoice from someone, and to click a link to verify it. I did NOT click the link thinking it was directly from a scammer. Instead, I logged into my Paypal account, and there was indeed an invoice requesting payment of $699.99. It waslaughingly enough from someone named “scammer something...” I refused the charge on Paypal’s official site. If it had been something smaller, and with a more official sounding name, I may not have been so wary.
Sorry Guys, I am taking MY cut!
Last two text scams I got were someone claiming to be Netflix, telling me my account was going to expire in two days.
‘I received a text from someone claiming they won a large lottery and were sharing $50k with 100 people if I would reply. I did not, but thought I would share here.”
I replied to that one and just got my 50k last week!
