Have any of you recently downloaded ExamSoft software onto your computers? MAny people getting this spam are taking the Bar Exam in October and started getting these calls after downloading this software. Just trying to see if this is traceable to this download or if others are experiencing it who are not bar takers and have not downloaded ExamSoft.

Received one today from (332) 213-7712 link p2smv.info/62g3DQcpZ6
Received today from 332-220-9466 stating "Voicemail: Parcel Sorting Center: Found package addressed to (my name). Last pick-up day-Saturday. Link is: p3smk.info/TtahxNtSEw. I did not click the link. I assume that if you do click it, it will confirm to the scammers that they have your correct name and mobile number, at which time you will be a continued target. So don't click it!
If you click the link, they will typically know that you did. They will then know that sending to your specific number works. The link they give you is unique only to you. The area code of the text is likely spoofed to be from your phone number's area. I got one with my name just like the example given. They will probably then call you, use your name to trick you about something.
I did not click link but forwarded the text to a friend to ask her about it. Now my phone isn’t working. Do you think forwarding the text has something to do with my phone not working now? Thank you.
No, the text alone cannot harm your phone.

Be aware that if any carrier company where to contact you for any reason it is usually done by the carrier leaving a note in your mailbox. Carriers also won't text you, the only texts you receive from any carrier are tracking updates. I hope this comment helps in a way.
Received same text at 12pm EDT from a 302 area code. Thanks for this site... they are deleted and blocked.
