I just received a text that I am 99.9% sure is a scam, since I do not have an account with HFS. The text notifying me a payment is due in three days and referencing the last four digits of the account number, with a link to make a payment. Other than reporting as “junk” and deleting it, is there anything else I should do?
I get these…all…day…long. Block if you can. or report as phising, or junk, or simply delete it.
Thank you for the response. I’ll report it and delete.
