Thank you for informing me about this. It is essential to be cautious when dealing with text messages from unknown numbers. Here are some tips:
1. Don’t respond: Replying can trigger more messages and even calls from scammers.
2. Don’t share personal information: Never give out personal or financial details over a text message.
3. Research: If you receive a message that claims to be from a particular organization or service, contact them directly through their official website or customer service line to verify the message.
4. Block the number: If you receive a suspicious text, block the number on your device.
5. Report the scam: You can report the scam to your local law enforcement agency or your mobile phone carrier. In the U.S, you can also report it to the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov/complaint.
Stay safe and informed!
