Same type message from this number347 244 5963

I also receive these messages multiple times a day. The most irritated part about it is that it is sent from different numbers every time so no matter if you block the number, it will just be sent from another one the next time it is sent.

I get texts from this scam once or twice a day, each time from a different number. The name that they always come to is Jacoquyn, which isn't my name, nor do I know anyone who even has that name.The latest: "jacoquyn, we found a parcel from April pending for you. Kindly assume ownership and schedule for delivery here:" followed by a link. The number attached to the text this time was (508) 280-0994.
