Scams From Your Own Phone Number
If you got a text from your own number this year, it’s not witchcraft or a glitch—it’s a scam. In this scam, bad actors sent people texts thanking them for paying a bill they didn’t pay or telling them to claim a prize by clicking on a link. Clicking on the link, however, didn’t give folks a prize, but instead exposed them to malware or got their number on a list that was then sold to other scammers. Profit!
