So, I just got a text from Wells Fargo saying my account has been suspended.....

And it included a link........


Ummm, I don't have a Wells Fargo account.


There is no way to block texts.

Anyway, beware of scams.

1. Can you block it as spam at least? I can block on my messenger.

2. I got a robocall saying my Social Security account was suspended...

"Press 2 to solve this problem. Failure to act could result in serious legal consequences."

This getting completely out of hand.

4. Yes they are getting desperate. I got 2 robocalls saying I was going to have a lien put on my

Social security (which is illegal) and I would have to go to the county court (which is also stupid) to resolve unless I called them right back. I just started getting my SS in February, and all of a sudden I started getting calls. Where do they get this information from?

3. I found a place on my android phone to block texts

by phone # and by keyword.

8. I have an android too (Samsung -Galaxy S7)

I looked everywhere for a block or spam. But I didn't find any.

Can you explain how please.

Thanks

10. On Android you should be able to. Open the phone app

select the 3 dot icon (menu icon), usually top right corner, select call setting, select reject calls, then select + button, and add the numbers you want to block

11. Messages. Settings. Block messages.

6. I got it too. And there is a way to block texts on the iPhone, so maybe there is on your phone, too?

7. Email a copy of the text (not a screenshot) to [email protected] . . .

[email protected].

Even if you have no account, give every organization an opportunity to protect itself and its clients from such scams.

9. sure you can. If they texted you they based it on a phone number. Just block the phone number

12. Here is my suggestion

On my android phone I use an app called “should I answer”. They have a database of many known spammers, and when your phone rings, it shows a message to you that it is probably spam. You can also leave info for their database if you encounter one they are not aware of. I have NO connection with this app, just making a suggestion.
