Mildly Infuriating @lemmy.world Flying Squid @lemmy.world 1 wk. ago

I just got this latest text from the scammers that have been sending relentless texts to me in the past few weeks.

I screamed, "FUCK! YOU!" when I saw it.

Don't reply to scammers, it just confirms to them it's an active number.
- I don't. It doesn't matter. They send them from different numbers.
  
  I assure you it does matter. However many you get now, it can be more.
Shouldn't it be from Kamala to you? Why the opposite?
- I think in this case the concept is that you are sending a thank you to Kamala Harris? So it's supposed to make you feel like you will be contacting her directly in some roundabout way. So in that case although the text is to you, the thank you they are requesting you sign is to Kamala Harris.
- To weed out people who scrutinize the scam. The same reason scams often have misspelled words. They want people who will react quickly without thinking too hard.
  
  I knew about that being the reason for grammar mistakes, but I would never think about such illogical stuff
The website seems legit? Maybe not spam
- Well then they're just assholes.
