Some of the recipients realized the messages were suspicious because the texts and calls came from an unknown number, sources said, and the impersonator or impersonators asked if the conversations could be continued in another platform, such as Telegram.

The suspicious messages hit in-boxes over an unknown period of time, sources said.

It is the persistence of Israel as a nation that infuriates him (or her). President Trump and COS Wiles are just in the way of his Iranian comrades. It is the same rage we see on college campuses.

Next you’ll be blaming Melania for the FBI raid on her panty drawer....perhaps you should change “Captain” to “Goof” in your screen name.

It was her personal phone - any one of us could have the same thing happen - in fact, a lot of us are probably unaware our numbers and names are showing up on scam texts/calls.

“Wiles explained to people that her phone had been hacked, sources told CBS News. “

I would like to know how they did this, but I doubt we will ever know. Maybe she left her phone somewhere.
