I need to learn more about this. A family member got a fraudulent text from a bank… It was actually the right short code for the bank but the content of the message was just a little off-seeming. I can’t remember if it was poor grammar or a spelling error or why we were suspicious of it. I’ve always wondered how that was possible. I know short codes can technically be spoofed but I’ve always read that it’s difficult and unlikely.

What a fascinating (but horrible) story this is. Thanks for sharing!

I remember my bestie in 1995 complaining up a storm at the ridiculousness of paying 45 cents a litre in Ontario, Canada…

It does now! Get your beauty sleep! 😂

Lol that’s so mean 😂
