More interesting than these obvious scams are when your phone company sends you legitimate texts that look like scams. I got what I thought was something super scammy from Verizon and did a lot of investigation and eventually found out that it was them.

The TLDR is that apparently they send all their marketing texts from "+90 (007) 000 38 64". You can opt out on their website and now I don't get these anymore. It's nice. But sad that my $120 a month isn't enough money for them, and they have to text me at 3AM to get me to buy a new phone. (And sell my browsing data.)
