I'm fairly good about not tossing my phone numbers around and getting junk txt messages, usually. When I registered with the health department to get the 'rona vaccine, didn't think anything about signing up my number for updates. Over the last few months, I've received numerous updates on age requirements, vaccination sights, etc, no problem.
I got this message this txt message morning...

Might have fallen for it, had I not seen the news reported about the scam recently.
