Got a text saying to call this number, my "immediate attention is needed".

I just got one, how do we stop this crap?

Same here!

from 312257@vtext.com
"Your attention is needed."

312257@vtext.com yeah this is the same number I received the txt from, and the funny thing that my actual number starts with the same digits!.

I forwarded the text message to Verizon Spam reporting https://www.bbb.org/blog/2012/04/how-to-block-unwanted-text-spam/
