Just block it. There's nothing that can be done with it, they don't even operate here in the #Philippines.

To give context, we get scam SMS from US numbers. It's about how we have an undelivered USPS package and we should pay for it so it can be shipped. 🤣

Another scam we receive here in the Philippines using US numbers: a US soldier depliyed in Afghanistan will soon be discharged, and they're planning on migrating here in the country. They are not looking for a house, they are looking for a home because they want to marry a Filipino. 😝

Sadly, a lot of people fall for that … because many Filipinos are hopeless romantics. 😅

But they can't be stopped because they're not operating in the US nor in Afghanistan.

None of these spammers and scammers operate in the country their mobile numbers came from. On the contrary, they usually operate in the country of their targets.

Trust us, we've been dealing with SMS spams and scams for 10 years now. We've seen numbers from EU nations too! 😂
