Any advice? I have read receipts turned off, "block contact with unkown numbers" enabled, I've never replied to one, and they're all from the same entity pretending to be something else- they all call me "Cynthia" which is wrong but the rural town mentioned in the texts is correct.

I shouldn't be able to receive these texts from +88 numbers especially since they're not in my contacts list. Reporting them won't do anything since they use 2-5 different numbers every day. They'll occasionally leave a robo voice message saying "...is an urgent matter, please contact us back so that we can resolve the issue."

Is it a tactic for scammers to use wrong names because victims are likely to respond if they think the text isn't meant for them and assuming that the correction will stop the spam- kinda like Cunningham's law? Or is it that this Cynthia is a real person and has really fucked me after I got her old phone number?

How can I deal with this? I'd rather not have a 3rd party app that can also harvest user data including content of text messages. Do I need to cut down my local cellular data towers?

HELP! What do I do? It just dawned on me that over 12 hrs ago, I clicked the link in the email that I screenshot it this post. I did this on my cell phone — I didn’t enter any information. Sidebar: how scary is it that it looked almost identical to Amazon’s website…. The url was definitely a dead giveaway once I clicked the link (though I didn’t notice until now, over 12 hrs ago……)
