@Kachina624 I don't open this type of email or text.  I delete without opening.  The sender can often tell when an email or text is opened, so they know there is a live person on the other end, and then sell the address to other scammers or send more messages themselves.  I think ignoring works best.  I am not free of unwanted mssgs, but don't get as many as others.  Also check your email settings to block spam.  I have a block (doesn't always work) but not delete setting in use.  The email system grabs the stuff, and I just take a look at the junkmail periodically, so don't get aggravated as much.  Sometimes junkmail grabs things it shouldn't, so I like to look before deleting.  But I can delete without opening and I think the sender doesn't know it reached a live person.

I get these periodically.  For a while, I was sending them to "phishing" addresses for the merchants.  After a while, I stopped.  Now, I just watch my credit and debit card accounts and will protest any charges I don't recognize.

I hate it when a rifle is confused for a Brahmin. sarcasm LOL 

BTW, all I carry is Brahmin. I use 2 that are at least 8 years old and they look like new.

I have been getting scam texts from UPS & Amazon.  I just hit report as scam and I haven't gotten it again, but I am sure I will at some point.

I got one of these for an Apple phone about a year ago.  I immediately canceled Paypal which I had for years.

I got one from WALLMART saying my Walmart cc had been comprised and to call CS to open up another one. #1 I don’t have Walmart CC and # 2 most importantly learn how to spell!!! Lol

Yes, as a poster suggested, ignoring the email is best.

Don't open anything suspicious.  

Also: A few of my friends answer all sorts of phone calls, and end up having telemarketers' calls all day long.

I get those at least once a month. After talking to my bank, I know now not to respond or even open the email.
