What You Need To Know About The Group Text Scam

At work today, this popped up in a text message:

I wish I had the whole thing, but in a nutshell, this is a GROUP Spam Text.

OOPS! Is Somebody Losing Their Sweet Scammer Job?

Honestly, at first, that's all I could think. Some scammer is going to have a really bad day. I even took it around and showed the guys that the scammer got caught in the scam right away.

I turned the first couple of messages in as scam, so I can't get them back. I wish you could have seen it. It was one of those over due whatever things that will get me arrested post haste.

I decided to do an article on it, then it became not so funny.

Is A Group Spam Message A Thing?

You bet a group spam text is a thing. I couldn't believe it. I saw a lot of people talking about it, but no actual article just on group spam texts. The rundown of the thing is they think people will start sharing info in a group text scenario.

The main message was it was another way to get you to give out your personal information.

On Reddit I found a post where the author says he responded on the text to warn others of the text, and within hours his number was listed as a Spam Number and there is absolutely no way to get off that list. Your number has to be changed.

A Scam Is A Scam Is A Scam

No matter what, you don't want to respond to any spam text or call or email or snail mail or anything scammy.

Even if you just THINK it MIGHT be a scam, delete it.
