FTC is doing something right
Oct. 23rd, 2008 09:45 amJD's received several phishing texts to her mobile phone lately. Today, after another came in, I decided to vent some frustration and called the number. The call was answered by a message stating that the phone number I called was shut down by the FTC because it was being used for a phishing scheme. The recording goes on to explain phishing and what people should do about them. I called to toy with a jerk and hung up with a smile that the govt isn't only prosecuting these bastards but are using their tools to educate the public.
