If we just blocked international numbers and not allow emails to send text 99% of scams wouldn’t work

I go ahead and report junk. The only time the actual toll road reaches out is when they send me a paper invoice or a message to check my account but those don't usually have links.

Only people falling for this are the boomers. We all seen how these texts look and how they be coming from an email account or weird out of the country number and just ignore it and delete it.

It’s crazy people fall for scams when “their government” texts them with an area code from another country. If you’re in America and it’s not a +1 extension, ITS NOT AN AMERICAN
