I’d love to see phone/text scammers executed.

Or call the 1800 number on it’s actual official page and not the number in the email.

That’s a pretty scary one because her threads matched up and she had recently had an S8. She was primed by those two things.

Well, that’s what happens when you deal with a dope bank. Started as one, still handles cartel money. Comey was even associated with it.

We used to pay by cash and checks. And the world was fine.
Then bank and the government pushed electronic banking on us, without being able to make it secure. And when it fails, we pay the price.

I don’t know, I’m pretty sure you could scroll though.
By the way, this phone scam was really elaborate.

My phone is just that. A phone. I don't use it for anything else.
No business or financial transactions are done by phone, text or otherwise.

We used to pay by cash and checks. And the world was fine. Cash and checks were all subject to counterfeiting. The world was not "fine".

Yep, not even one megapixel back then. And phones were on dial-up.

Doing something about this kind of thing would be a useful activity our government could do to benefit citizens.
Of course, that's why they won't bother.

Poor baby, I feel so bad for her. These scammers are constantly sending me phishing emails. As much as I want to scam them, it’s not worth taking the chance. I automatically delete the emails and move along. It’s also the reason I got rid of my cell phone. I hardly ever used it anyway.
