Mystery Text Messages

Creative Way to Respond to the Text Scams

Recently I have been getting a lot of strange text messages. I think scammers are starting their transition from phone calls to text messages.

Here's a sample message that I recently received:

Apple Text Scam

Good Response

I thought of a creative way to respond to these mystery text messages- once I confirmed that these are fake messages. Here's my new response:

Federal Communication Disclosure: Text and voice messages sent to this number will be archived. All content will be available to the public at the National Archives of the United States. All text messages may be monitored by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

What do you think? Will this scare people from replying?
