I received a similar text as others. From #+1 (470) 259-0457 yesterday AM. Errors in the text such as "117.283" which should be "117,283" are always red flags. The premise of "widespread social media outage" makes no sense and is obviously BS. Scammers are preying on wishful thinking. I don't have any interest in a "$100 Gift item". Be vigilant and skeptical about everything from unknown sources:
