Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Recipients of SMS text messages or calls from telephone numbers starting with: 1-410-200-500, instructing them to click on a link to visit a website or respond, are asked to delete the messages, and should not follow instructions in them or the callers'. This is because 1-410-200-500 and sequential numbers are being used by scammers to trick potential victims into visiting phishing websites that steal account credentials, personal and financial information. The number is also being used to trick potential victims into visiting malicious websites that will trick them into installing malicious apps.

Therefore, recipients of phone calls and text messages from telephone numbers starting with "1410-200," where the callers or senders request money or personal information, or ask the recipients to go to a link, are asked to be careful.
Today, I received a text message from: 1-410-200-500, which claims it is an iOS update, and instructed me to click the link in it in order to update by iPhone. But, Apple doesn’t sent SMS text messages with a link to update. Therefore, iPhone users should never click on links in SMS text messages, which claim to be updates, or some other form of important notification. Remember, Tablets, iPhone and other Smartphones will automatically check for updates and display a notification when there is one. The makers of these mobile devices will never send a link in a text or an email message, instructioning the owners to update their mobile devices.

Just got a weird looking message from 1410200 500 person today went to the website and there was Snapchat for s*x. Absolutely disgusting that they would use this as bait especially to a minor child’s device
There is zero reason that providers should allow this stuff to continue. Congress should demand all providers just stop allowing any number spoofing without a warrant. Blocking technology would work better, and scammers would be stopped in their tracks mostly because they could no longer hide completely. But it will take a member of congress getting scammed and losing a few million bucks of their own money they stole from taxpayers for anything to be done.
Today I received a text from 1-410200509 number saying I need to click a link in my cellphone for a missed package from USPS. I checked first the phone number and found out it's a scam so I deleted the text message.
Received a message from 1-410-200-532. Wanted me to click on a link. I didn't do it and blocked the number.
How do you block a nine digit number 1(410) 200-520 when apple doesn't give you an option to block using iMessage? The only option to block is to put the number into your contacts - bad idea...... Why are these manufacturers (Apple, Google, etc) not interested in protecting their consumers?

My wife and I both received this message on our phones within 5 minutes of each other at 5 am. We do have an AT&T account but I keep up with it well and knew the message was wrong. The number I was supposed to call was 205 287 0227, which is different from the one listed above.

I get these in texts all the time! They want me to click the link and look at their profile. I just end up blocking them but then they text from a different number. The numbers are all 410 but the rest of the number is never complete. I probably have 20 blocked by now. So dang aggravating!

Just as info. The return link is in Croatia. Latest ends in 518 and claims that your Netflix account hasn't been paid and to go to their link (I assume)to put in credit card numbers to "pay it". Anyone stupid enough to put in their credit card numbers I guarantee will not have paid any Netflix bill, but will find lots of other charges against their credit card.

I receive multiple calls and texts from 14102005** daily. The last 2 digits are not always the same today I got back to back texts one ended with ***15 and the next ***16, the name of the supposed senders are different but the messages are identical. There are instructions to open a link for attachments and a warning not to open unless you are the intended recipient. It seems like whoever is composing the message is attempting to make it look official and authoritive but there are many spelling and grammar issues and mis used wording very similar to the Nigerian email scams
410-200-505 claimed my Netflix account was on hold (do not have one); the website began with Netflix but was hosted at castirek.com - so obviously sketchy! This scam is clearly still ongoing!
