Beware of spoof text messages—smishing scams

Just received one from CVS. It seemed off for several reasons, so I called our local CVS and they’re closed. They started having these scams in 2008 but are back with renewed vigor now that spoof emails are being caught and blocked by yahoo, google and others. Anyway, be aware and don’t click link or give info without verifying by calling the sender from a number YOU know is correct before clicking or providing info. Below is an article with more info.

PSA: if you get a call from BC/BS - it is a scammer calling, not your insurer!
