Text Scams
I keep getting texts on my iPhone (VZW) from 326-65 with the following message:
Your Facebook account was accessed from an unknown browser at (time). Log in for more info. Is there any way to stop this crap? Apparently with VZW, they can only block texts from real phone numbers. A Google search didn't really help, other than I'm not the only one. I tried Facebook years ago and hated it. I thought I completely deleted my account, but it seems I didn't (or they didn't). I did that again over the weekend. Thanks. |

Dude, I've never had a FB account and I get shit like that all the time. It's a phishing scam. They don't actually check to see if you have a FB account before they send it. That takes too much time.

Yeah, I figured that was the case. So, what's the point of them sending it? I already replied asked if they'd like my home address and SSN. They haven't responded yet.

Sure, but what are they trying to accomplish? There's no link or anything. Are they actually hoping that people engage them and give up information like above?
