I am in BIG trouble now!

Got this text today-

Colorado Department of Vehicles (DMV) Final Notice: Enforcement Penalties Begin on June 8.

Not sure what the "North Colorado car State Administrative Code 15C-16.003" is but it sounds really bad. The url looks totally legit so I better see how to resolve this.

Maybe I should call Frank Azar!

Edit- I removed the link to payment so you guys don't steal my identity

Yup, got that same text Tuesday morning. A friend in Virginia received a similar one. Scammers stay busy!

I saw it on the news yesterday. I can't believe that people are dumb enough to fall for that or that there is enough money to be made to keep all these scams alive.

Although I guess if you live in Bangladesh, 300 American is a pretty sweet payday.

Just got my first one today as well. The amount of people it probably works on is scary.

I paid mine quickly....I didn't want my credit score to be affected or anything like that.

My wife got 2 in the last 36 hours. I effing HATE scammers and wish we could tar and feather their asses in the public square.

Between my personal and work phone I have gotten a total of 9 of them in the last 48 hours.
I have not responded to any of them.

Become ungovernable!

How many personal loan calls do you folks get per day?

From earlier this morning...

Hi, this is Angela Rodriguez [sultry voice] at the loan approval department. We just have a few questions to finalize your $85K loan. Please call XXX-XXX-XXXX

I feel so left out.

I get maybe 1 or 2 "check your shipment link here" scam texts per month.

I have been so busy donating to local law enforcement agencies I can’t keep up!!! They can count on me!!


My mom fell for this recently. She believes every text, email and phone call is real.
I told her to just STOP responding to anything. She was able to stop any payment after I told to her contact her bank and admit she fell for a scam text saying they would suspend her license if she did not pay the “Fine” using Apple Pay.
She notifies me when she gets something fishy sounding.

Got one of those too. Guess they didn’t pay attention to the address.

Geez, the amount of effort they put into these emails and texts is admirable. I got the DMV one the other day. Sorry, no money for you! I also get the calls on my work phone several times a a day about Medicare Supplement plans. I used to get them on my personal phone, but a few blasts with the canned air horn must have put me on their “Do Not Call” list. Also worked on my buddy who spoofed his number and did a crappy Paki accent. He whined about the horn for weeks. Served his dumb ass.

Personal loans, business loans and tax relief offers? I average six per day, less on the weekends. Of course, my business number is on the internet in many places.

I have gotten this twice now.

Three times here.

Every day I have to renew my McAfee Windows antivirus for about $400.

It is getting very expensive to keep both McAfee and Windows off my iMac.

I swear my wife orders crap online and uses our shared email account we have had for 25 years and all the spam I get daily is unbearable!
I try to unsubscribe and block but they continually change the sender email!

I don’t need Ozempic, vacation rentals and I have no need for pills in the bedroom!
