Wow, I might have to switch back to Android just to get away from the SMS spam! Lol, now they're doing the "hey it's been a long time since we've talk! How have you been?" kind of thing, and then they go "oh, are you my friend Henry?" So then after you say no, they'll go "Well that's okay, can we still talk?" And eventually they get to the whole "did you hear about the new program, for the elderly, poor, disabled, veterans, elderly, other people, elderly, oh please be elderly..." lol. But you can just about always tell because it's a number you've never interacted with, and it's an SMS. Not an iMessage, not an RCS message. Now, I know some Android users are gonna be using messaging apps that don't use RCS. But honestly the likelihood of that versus scam is kinda lopsided towards being a scam.

Poor Robokiller, they've not cracked down on this new tactic yet. And one almost got me too. My Pixel contacts were quite out of date, since I'd not added my new iPhone contacts yet. So I wasn't even sure if it was someone I really hadn't talked to in a long time, or what.
