I’ve been getting a spam text (or 2) every day for over a week now. Different numbers every time but all links ends in dot-cyou. The first one was this TransUnion one. I’m sick of it. And since they all come from different numbers, I can only block each specific number. This is why I don’t give my cell number out anywhere but somehow someone got it and it’s frustrating as all get out.

Got this today also, didn't save the number but it started with 802 which is a Vermont #. Deleted immediately.

I received one today, as well. The URL and the number it came from were all red flags but I still wasted time today confirming it. :(
