No cause I’ve already been scammed and when I reached out to the company to let them know someone was using their company name to scam people they acted like it was my fault/problem 😭

I hate getting fake missing mail texts that say I need to pay a delivery fee, or fake tolls for the state I live in, I don’t even have an ez pass cause I rarely need to drive anywhere far. My college is notorious for fake billing emails several times a week to trick you into giving them your email login and credit card info.

The creepy thing is some of them have actually been for the toll bridges near me. I don’t remember what it was about but I even got a scam message about my email address (sent to my phone number instead of my email) being the winner to something and it mentioned the name of the town my college is in that I live in a dorm at. It had one of those super long random letter and number emails so it was a dead giveaway
