![]() Years ago before this was so widespread, I got a text from a dental office reminding me of my appointment. My phone wasn't "smart" then, and replying stop or cancel didn't work. They had the wrong number/patient. It was annoying. ![]() These days I'm not so trusting and don't automatically assume they just made a mistake. There's actually those "wrong number' texts or calls too, made on purpose. They leave an urgent sounding message for someone else, hoping you call back to say they made a mistake! Then they have your number or have you on the line to try to scam you or sell something. __________________ ![]() ![]() Hmmm....looks like some good tips in here. "Okay, enough photos. I'm a very BUSY Business Kitty, so make an appointment next time." |

I've heard of those supposed wrong number text/calls where they are trying to confirm it's a valid number for a potential future scam. I got a text recently about setting up an appointment for a property for rent. I blocked them.
Gmail's spam filter works pretty well for me. I check it on occasion because sometimes an email I do want gets sent to Spam. |

In other news, my spam folder has been empty the last couple of days—very unusual! I guess the scammers are on vacation or something… |
