just received a text message from this number.  don't know who they are but they offer to help with tax debt relief

Just got the same Text offering Tax Debt relief. I hope my reply of "Fu[K Off" didn't verify the legitmacy of my working phone number. People who do this should be shot.

Sorry - text:)

Actually, sending text messages like spam is completely against the law. Because, unlike email, people have to pay for txt messages and so the spam costs people. I have reported them to the FBI.

If you find them, post their address.  Maybe some large people who know how to make a baseball bat sing will show up to visit them.
