Do you ever reply to those phishy texts? Don’t. That’s the advice of police now. No jokes, nothing; block them. Why? For one thing, they know it’s a real number and you have provided part of a pattern–people are effectively patterns of perception/definition/response=protocols. Programming is becoming pattern-sensitive. That was a mistake I made for many years; now I can’t make it anymore.
Were I the astute reader (and this isn’t just my idea or just the police; this is security agencies of various kinds), I would do as I’ve done; quit replying to the unknown. Which also means, my friends…you don’t post negative things about Trump and friends in particular. A putsch is openly being prepared. IP addresses are even available from comments on places like Yahoo…Facebook…and WORDPRESS.
