Hi, @patrickhanrahan.bsky.social;
Thanks for this warning message.
And I delete/block all scam texts.
Hopefully, others will do the same.

Screenshot of a scam text, supposedly from “Darlene”, from Indeed (no last name), describing a full time remote job with benefits that I never applied for. Probably written by AI.

Has anyone ever offered you a job with benefits via text, sans interview, from an Outlook email address that doesn’t even have a name attached to it? Nuh-uh.

Scammer no scamming! 🦊

💯💯💯
Good for you, Philip, you smart 🍪.
I can smell a scam a mile away.
And I never ever click on fake links.
In fact, I delete such texts immediately.

Funny scam to send when Canada Post is on strike 😏

Some Companies don’t help

Got these texts from @RoyalMail & couldn’t tell if genuine or not

Although I was expecting a parcel via RM, I had no idea who Etarget was🤷🏻

Never click on links unless sure, go directly to supplier or carrier websites
