I rather Patty got one in the past few days threatening to expose her as to what she had been viewing on the internet. They inferred that she was watching porn and that they had taken over her camera on her iPad.
I personally would like to see what she is looking at being she died two years ago and her iPad is in a drawer since then.
If these people put as much effort in a real job that they do in trying to scam people they would be richer!

I get one of those 'you've been watching porn' ones just about every month. Has my name, address, and phone number in the text. Some of the newer ones, like something from Apple or Xfinity, are 100% valid looking, top to bottom. Like others, I just delete them.

I got this one a few years ago, it was pretty accurate although I'm not sure how they knew about the sheep.

Not only the USPS, but UPS, FEDEX, the phone, cable, wireless company (Xfinity, AT&T, Verizon) but department stores as well. I just deleted out of my junk folder notices that my iCloud storage was gonng to be terminated, that my subscription to a anti-virus was being terminated, my phone information and my bank information had to be updated, etc. etc. etc.
Just check the origin email address to double check where the message originated and then NEVER, NEVER call any phone number (see first message above) or click on any link to reply to ANY email. You bank has a phone number you can look up yourself (and you can pat yourself on the back for being so alert )
