Beware of unsolicited texts that cite investigations and demand a callback to a toll‑free line. Such messages typically harvest personal data by leveraging fear, especially when they insert a maiden name or a case number. Never provide any information or click links; verify the claim through official channels if you suspect legitimacy. Block the number and report it to your carrier and to the FTC. Consider enabling spam‑filtering services and educate contacts about these tactics. If you’re ever unsure, hang up and call the organization using a known, trusted number—not the one supplied in the text.
Today i recieved a text from this number: "This is a message from AIS regarding an open investigation pertaining to _____ to verify location information. Please contact the issuer at 888-302-3208 and reference case file 403-01612 to prevent further escalation"
I was sent a mesage from this number, but it didnt say much.

I recieved a text message from ERG, it was obviously a scam, but what bothers me is they have to be so threathing!!!!
