Latest scam? Got a text claiming to be the US Census Bureau requesting I take a COVID-19 survey. Riiiiight.
But I could see how some folks would fall for it.

I'm not answering any more questions until they reinstate my SS number.

I don’t even open texts from people I don’t know… emails either.
On the rare occasion that I am curious I send it to junk first where I am assured images aren’t loaded which cuts way down on odds that the sender can see that I open it because images aren’t loaded and then I can see clearly who the real sender is.
A pro tip is to not have images load for all email.
I never ever click on a link. If I am concerned I go right to the website and sign in to see if there is anything there relevant to the text or email.
