Your phone number probably got harvested from someone else's compromised device that you texted once for a TradeMe pickup, etc. They don't know you are waiting for a parcel at all. They just send the same message to everyone and hope that someone (like you) IS expecting a parcel, and will get fooled. Most of the spam I'm getting at the moment is about my expired McAfee subscription. I have never bought a McAfee product in my life! |

I am receiving something similar from Norton. And like you, I have never bought anything from Norton. Why would anyone pay Norton (McAfee) when there is so much free stuff on the net to choose from?:illogical |

| 1483412 | 2022-01-07 04:49:00 | Why would anyone pay Norton (McAfee) Because Toaster Shop Salesmen push it when people buy Toaster Shop Computers? And I once had a customer, after I'd sorted their machine, got the boy in. He uninstalled all the AV and antispyware stuff I'd give them and installed Nortons, telling them it was all they needed and much better than this other stuff..... His dad was IT manager at local HIgh School, so of course he'd know!! |
