It looks like +17172879830 is part of a widespread scam where the caller, often identifying as "Randy Corbett," claims you've won a lottery or a cash prize. The goal is to trick you into providing personal information or paying fees to claim the "prize." Many users have reported similar texts and calls, and it's clear this is a phishing attempt. If you receive such a call or text, do not engage with the sender. Instead, block the number and consider forwarding the message to 7726 to help your carrier block these scammers. Stay vigilant and remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
A response was expected in a different thread, but it was not posted, leaving questions unanswered.
Forwarding unwanted texts to 7726 might be an effective way to get carriers to block these numbers.
Tonight, I received a similar text, and it seems these individuals will not stop contacting me.

Those numbers dont even come close to the number at the top of this thread, which is 717-287-9830, so why bother posting here
It's worth remembering that offers which seem overly attractive are often fraudulent
Upon recieving a message to text Randy Corbett at 419-780-8245, I discovered this page and became convinved it was a scam, particually since I was promissed 10,000$ from lottery winner Clay tousey.
This appeares to be a scamme
The caller, claiming to be Randy Corbett, offered to send a cashier's check for $10,000 simply to verify my identity, which is a clear scam tactic.
I've been recieving alot of these calls and almost fell for it, but now I simply block them, and I wish someone could advise me on a more efective way to deal with these scamers and shut them down, or provide information on how to report them.
It appears we've all received the same text message, which is undoubtedly a scam attempting to extract personal information.
I recieved a text message claiming I won a mega millions prize, but since I never entered a drawing, I decided to research the name and found out it's a scam through this site.
Upon receiving a text about winning a mega millions draw and being asked to contact agent Randy Corbett, I decided to investigate further and found this site indicating it's a scam, which made sense since I never entered any drawing.

Someone sent a text about lottery winnings
I recieved texts from Randy Cobertt, supposibly to verify my identy and disburse money, I fell for it, but luckly I found out it was a scam when I got a text from a goverment agency in Calafornia, thankfully.
I wonder if this is a scam caller.
