All the time. They never stop. I've done the same thing. Opt out, say no, ask
To be taken off the list. None of it does any good. What upsets me is my mail box is full all the time with their messages and if I try to call most of them back it's "I'm sorry. You're call can't be completed as dialed" or " the number you called is no longer in service"🤯

Same here Catfish Hunter everyday non stop. 😶👎

I clicked once on a Verizon one a month or so ago but realized quickly it wasn't Verizon. I just flag, forward to that phishing site and delete.


And if you call the real folks that they are impersonating they tell you that there is nothing they can do. 😶👎

Three years ago I and my wife went to Walgreens to get flu and shingles shots. I was contacted later that day or next day, thanking me and wanted us to answer questionair about our experience. And said I would get a free gift for answering. They knew which credit card I used and they used the Walgreens logo and name. They indeed sent me the free item and two more that I had just looked at to decide which one I wanted. The extra two items I had just looked at were sent to me and they charged me full price charged to my credit card that I gave them for "SHIPPING". so contacted the card company and payment was refused, card cancelled. What fooled me was the WALGREEN"S name and logo. Never will fall for that again. Take it from me, "THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH"! Someone ends up paying.

Wow, that must have been an inside job. Not hijacking the logo, having your cc #. Somebody there sold your info to the actual thieves no doubt. Wouldn't take J. Edgar Hoover to crack this one. I say pursue some of these easy ones and make an example of some of these criminals.Local L E here won't touch this stuff, " not their jurisdiction ". What a cop out. Who would complain ? The bad guys? Plenty of state statutes could be applied. IF they felt like it.

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?

Every day there is a new scam…last Sunday was approached by a guy…real friendly…talked for several minutes and finally wrapped around that he lost his serpentine belt on his pick up and needed $$ to get a new one……last year same guy same line…I walked away laughing !!!

People working so hard to get something for nothing. They'll probably be texting God for a get out of hell free pass.
