Got this text today-

Not sure what the "North Colorado car State Administrative Code 15C-16.003" is but it sounds really bad. The url looks totally legit so I better see how to resolve this.

Maybe I should call Frank Azar!

Edit- I removed the link to payment so you guys don't steal my identity

Yup, got that same text Tuesday morning. A friend in Virginia received a similar one. Scammers stay busy!

I saw it on the news yesterday. I can't believe that people are dumb enough to fall for that or that there is enough money to be made to keep all these scams alive.

Although I guess if you live in Bangladesh, 300 American is a pretty sweet payday.

Just got my first one today as well. The amount of people it probably works on is scary.

I paid mine quickly....I didn't want my credit score to be affected or anything like that.

My wife got 2 in the last 36 hours. I effing HATE scammers and wish we could tar and feather their asses in the public square.

Between my personal and work phone I have gotten a total of 9 of them in the last 48 hours.
I have not responded to any of them.

Become ungovernable!

How many personal loan calls do you folks get per day?

From earlier this morning...

Hi, this is Angela Rodriguez [sultry voice] at the loan approval department. We just have a few questions to finalize your $85K loan. Please call XXX-XXX-XXXX

I feel so left out.

I get maybe 1 or 2 "check your shipment link here" scam texts per month.

I have been so busy donating to local law enforcement agencies I can’t keep up!!! They can count on me!!


My mom fell for this recently. She believes every text, email and phone call is real.
I told her to just STOP responding to anything. She was able to stop any payment after I told to her contact her bank and admit she fell for a scam text saying they would suspend her license if she did not pay the “Fine” using Apple Pay.
She notifies me when she gets something fishy sounding.
