I told them I'm already at the police station reporting a car accident and that I would turn myself in. I asked if they wanted to talk to the officer that is with me. They hung up.

now that is a good one

we have received the call from fake agent claiming we had warrants for our arrest for income taxes...he got very belligerent and made threats.
so we told him to come on down and arrest us.
this continued for several days, then we would place phone under tv speaker and let him rant for minutes

guy told me to forward spam text messages to 7726 it sends them to some level of security and it begins a process to investigate the messages.
he also stated in about 10 days the messages will drastically stop as our number will not be in some que that prevents the large numbers of spams texts

so we shall see


wife wants an old flip phone now

your wife may be in luck .... I replaced my old 3g flip phone with a new 4g flip phone just last month .... to stay current with the "system", or some such nonsense. I'd be glad to donate the old 3g phone .... but it may not hook up to the "system" in another few months.


jd

verizon offered me a new one for zero dollars if she wants to try it. she really got upset, with the constant spammmmmmm.

wife wants an old flip phone now

thanks all, its an android samsung a20 for wifes phone
mine is an old s6 and gets zero spams... but hers is all day long
she just got one from JEFF claiming to be UPS and wanted to know what a good time to deliver was?? she deleted it, its crazy . if she puts phone on do not disturb they pile in as soon as its turned off
will look at google app

Anyone know of a way to stop or really limit the number of spam text messages? I block callers easily enough and then they change one digit and call back
but the spam text messages are out of control, its about every 5 minutes a new spam comes in
verizon can stop them for 60 days for a fee of course but they come right back with anew sent from number or 5 or 6 digit number
we dont reply stop but do try to block them.

thanks
