I keep getting texts that I qualify for large amounts of money if I answer a questionaire for different stores. Walmart, Lowes and other well known stores. I keep blocking the phone numbers but I get them from other phone numbers. They really look legitimate. Are any of you getting them?

Maybe 1 or 2 text a day but in that 5 plus getting phone calls. Each one gets blocked but shortly there after another call.

Also don't take the survey that these companies send emails on.

There is a couple from Tennessee I think that keep trying to give me $10 million dollars cuz they won a power ball and want to share it. Just out of curiosity I followed it once and it came from a bank in Kenya I believe but it would only cost me $2,500 dollars for all the legal fees to be covered.

Yes, Home Depot, Target, etc. I look up the stores phishing email and forward them. They can get more done that way rather than just delete it. Going to look for a govt. site to forward to. The one I found yesterday came back. Good ol govt.

They are using a computerized phone service and it generates random numbers and it can't be traced .
I turned them into the FBI and they told me they couldn't tell if they were in the US or overseas !

Yup. Believing they’re coming from someone “fishing” the stage. Relentless but there’s always something off, logo, English…
Gotta admit though they look real at first glance.
