Spam calls

[mac]

Can someone explain to me what the perps of these hope to accomplish? Someone is doing this. Is it just to pi$$ us off? Is it Vlad hoping to cripple us?

I guess those scams must work.

These were discussed recently on the RV forum. One guy said he replied to a spam text "Does this ever work?" He actually got a reply of "Sometimes".

I've heard the same. I know two women who have fallen for these scams, both intelligent, educated, one with a doctorate. One was an IRS scam that said to buy $1500 worth of iTunes cards and to text pictures of the numbers. The other was a long lost "cousin" stuck in jail out of the country.

The phone companies absolutely could put a stop to them, but it would lose them money in burner accounts.
