    Bad news, the folks who handles such Trojan e-mails probably got laid off.

    My bad, took the snide political stuff out. No carb diet so I can look but not taste.

    I keep getting texts about unpaid EZ-Pass tolls.

    I keep getting them on a phone with no service. The SIM card is in it but the provider got bought out years ago and stopped offering the plan.

    I forward them to “Spam Reports”, set it up as a contact. Not sure if it helps, feels good anyway.

    I assume that is phone provider-specific? On my iPhone for Messages there is an option to delete & report as junk.

    I believe that 7726 is independent, not sure. Google “where to report spam text”.

    method:

    press and hold on spam text (somewhere WITHOUT link)

    choose “More” in Pop-Up, then “Forward”

    then type 7726, or “spa…”, if set up as contact per mine.

    I bet if I tried to forward them on the phone with no service, that wouldn't work. :/

    You mean 7726? Not sure. It does say “merci”, so I feel right at home. :rolleyes:

    How do you afford all the eggs???? Sorry senior moment - Canada:(:mad::(:LOL:
    Yep; don't confirm fishing expedition is the best policy - anything official would/should be sent certified mail - as long as they currently exist...... If you should get something over your Signal app - you should probably answer; because that's what's currently acceptable by our current gov't.:(

    We "grow our own" with chickens. Great for recycling kitchen scraps into eggs too.

    thanks, i'll try the cookies and kablock. i never log in, but my tax form didn't come in the mail.
    when i tried, it made me update my password, then it made me choose a new method, so i did login.gov, then it said the service wasn't currently available.
