Evri missed package text. *SCAM*

Post by Steve30000 »

2nd one I've had to block and report..

Be aware of these.. I don't even open them or click any links on there, you're putting your personal information at risk.
Highlight it, block and report it to Google..

Clearly, these people don't have proper jobs or any self esteem about themselves.. they're shameless thieves who would rather steal from working people.

I used to get these sorts of scams regularly on text but I think my provider has now learned how to stop them from coming through.
Sometimes I get a spam report and can look at all that didn't get through.
Of course, I don't open them!
Spam on emails sometimes gets through but I can mark them as spam and hopefully, those reposts help stop others from getting them.
I can't see these companies stopping them altogether but it's a little better than a few years ago.

I learned a long time ago to stop clicking links.
Anything could happen and you could get a RAT!

It's not Evri or Royal Mail or anyone who you think. Its probably someone in Nigeria.


I might have the day off today!
