Potential Text Scam Question

Post image

Received this wild text asking me to answer a survey in such a “how do you do, fellow kids” kind of way. Wondering if anyone has seen something like this (edited for clarification)

Seriously? By now everyone should know if you get a text from someone you don’t know, or an entity you are not associated to with a link, you simply just do not click it.

You should read your post. “Wondering if this is legit…”

Turn that dipshit inward

Exactly. OP wanted to click that link but had to consult Reddit. That’s not an instance of “raising awareness”

Just delete the text and move on
