SPAM TEXTS PHISHING LINKS SMS SCAM
Weird and incomplete number randomly texted a link to a secret shopper service website. A bunch of different companies and businesses were mentioned on the page. I assume to make it seem realistic. But when searching the companies and businesses listed, nothing came up in relation to this website or any information about this website or the Retail Secret Shopper was able to be found. Must be a scam.
