Beware of scammers! They’re out and about this holiday season like mosquitos around a stagnant pond. I can’t even count how many robocalls and spam calls and texts I’ve received even though I’m on the Do Not Call list.

Apparently, there are several “pending lawsuits” for which I need to take immediate action (not at all true) and all my worldly possessions are in danger of being taken away from me (also not true).

There are SERIOUS legal matters that I must respond to or else the sheriff will hunt me down or something like that. (Not true.)

Here’s part of the transcript: “We have a legal pending action. Failure to contact us back will unfortunately be best no choice, but to take further actions.” Hmmm…not a great command of the English language…

The other weird spam/fraud/call/text was supposedly from Walmart regarding a special edition Playstation 5 Pulse 3-D headset for $919.45. The message directed me to call to cancel or accept the order. I blocked that number too, but that’s the only one that was flagged Spam Risk by my carrier.

BEWARE! Don’t respond at all to texts, voicemails, or emails like this. Have a safe and happy holiday season!
