Asking for a friend.
Actually, I was talking to someone yesterday as I got this text and laughed at the obviousness of the scam. And the blood drained from their body because they had clicked on the Amazon version, filled out everything they asked, and had been wondering where their package was.
So I Googled and founds warnings to avoid it but haven’t found what to do if you clicked and filled out the stuffs. Anyone know?
Reset the smartphone/tablet to factory defaults to nuke the malware installed? Google account security checkup + deauthorize all devices.
I’ve never clicked on those links, but I will say that every time I get one of those texts, I immediately block the number. It has reduced the number of spam texts I get.
These links might be helpful. The key seems to be not filling out the info. If you accidentally click on the links, but quickly close the tabs and delete your history, you should be fine. If you fill out the info, you could be in trouble pending on what info you gave the scammers. Once again folks, if you get a text or e-mail that you think might be spam, assume it’s spam and don’t click on any links!
