    I got a really believable scam text a couple of weeks ago from a purported collection agency. I’m having some debt issues and it looked very real. The fact that they didn’t say my name or who they represented were obvious clues, but I could definitely see myself not thinking about that and downloading their attached PDF.

      Dude I got one too. I even Googled the website and it came up as legit. I just ignored it because fuck collection agencies. They can’t do anything If they can’t verify it’s you. Also I don’t have debt beyond my car payment which I’m ahead on so that was another hint.
