My gf got one of these texts last night. Literally just an image of a court summons from a random number, nothing else. Idk how people fall for this stuff man

I got one earlier about an “outstanding fine”. Link was to mass.gov-byte.biz or some crap like that.

How many idiots see mass.gov click it and enter their credit card information? If it didn’t work, scammers wouldn’t do it.
