I've gotten several emails that says my TextMe account has had suspicious log ins or something to that effect. I do not have a TextMe account so I delete. Anyone else getting these?
TIA

I get text messages regarding unpaid toll road fees. I did not realize that Florida contracted toll collection services to the Philippines. I guess everything is outsourced now.

I got one for unpaid tolls as well. From a nice lady named Shirley Warren.

I think she is unhappy that I didn't send her my banking info because she hasn’t written back.

Everyone gets these emails.
I am surprised that people are surprised at getting these type of emails
Be suspicious of everything and never respond directly to any of these emails, no matter how legit they look.
Especially never click on the links.
Common sense. Eek

Wow. Same number has been texting me about my Bay Area FasTrak account. Except I check my balance every month.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Consider these stats:
It's difficult to pinpoint an exact percentage of the US population that are "criminals" as the term is broad and encompasses various levels of involvement with the criminal justice system, but approximately 1 in 3 adults have a criminal record. Additionally, about 0.7% of the US population is currently incarcerated in federal or state prisons or local jails. link: https://www.ncsl.org/civil-and...-and-reentry-toolkit

I have my iPhone set up so that all texts from numbers not in my “Contacts” app are sent to my “Unknown Senders” box.

About once a week I open that box then:
* Select all
* Delete and report junk



Serious about crackers.

Get lots of texts confirming Paypal payments I’ve made for various items. Not too concerning since I don’t have a Paypal account.

You could add (for me anyway) calls from my "TV Service" Indian to upgrade my box and lately to give me a $50 discount, all I have to do is send my payment to them in NJ. At least 3 or 4 times a week. Eek

I get so many scam emails and texts that the people who have been trying to reach me about my trucks extended warranty haven’t been in touch in months.

Musk should invent an AI app that pinpoints the origin of these emails. And for an additional $100 you get to buy and use one JDAM against that target.

On Tuesday there are more missiles in the sky than airplanes but the scammers would soon be ended.
