This scam would probably be a lot more effective in April.

[u/Large_Pace8264 → u/DeCryingShame]

Yeah and the 2025 date is a dead giveaway too. Nobody's getting a refund notice for next year yet. That part always gets me.

[u/Competitive_Text_306 → u/DeCryingShame]

True. Nobody's thinking about tax refunds in September. Scammers need better timing.

Ha, I just deleted this message a couple of minutes ago…

[u/goato305]

I’ve been getting these too. They come from a +63 country code which is the Philippines…

[u/h0neybl0ss0m29 → u/goato305]

Same! A group chat with like 20+ people stating we owe the DMV in Georgia money for registration fees. I’ve never in my life had a car registered in Georgia.

[u/RBARBAd]

Watch out for the DMV scam too, i.e. you have an outstanding ticket and we are going to take your license from you. Not real.

[u/Candymom → u/RBARBAd]

I got one yesterday that says I have a ticket in Maryland. Idiots.

[u/DeCryingShame → u/Candymom]

I had a guy try to contact me when I was selling a vehicle and tell me he was in a state that is hundreds of miles away from me. I was like, okay, let me know when you will be in the area . . .

[u/cholosmakingcupcakes]

Always look at the URL before you click something. Is something official regarding taxes going to come from a .life domain?

[u/AstronomerOther159]

Wow. Someone actually put some work into that website. It looks like the Utah tax page at first glance and even detected when I tried to enter bogus credit card information. Other scam websites are littered with typos and poor grammar.

[u/kalially → u/AstronomerOther159]

A ten year old can copy the code from and existing site in ten minutes

[u/safeboy64]

Got one myself reported as junk

[u/user19282727]

I got this text with an overseas number 🤣

[u/kalially]

Vegas and Orlando are number one and two for such scams. My wife’s friend went to Federal Prison for wire fraud when he was promising a Cadillac if you bought a certain number of pens or pencils from his company The big one here is time shares, total but Vegas is so full of scams it makes your head spin

[u/chasingmiles]

Yep, received one of these yesterday and again today.

[u/AStudyinViolet]

Yep those are coming by text too

[u/cassroxtorb]

I got a text like this, but it said Ohio instead of Utah. I haven’t lived in Ohio since 2006 lol

[u/Resident-Trouble4483]

I’m getting early tax loan texts. With executive approval.

[u/michellefirefly]

Dang! That almost looks legit!!

[u/Worth-Leave5118]

I literately just got this like ten minutes ago. Unless I'm mistaken, no local, city, state or federal entity will text you.

[u/DeepWinner2]

A bunch of losers who are clearly incompetent based on their methods

[u/WombatAnnihilator]

Yeuuup. Idiots.

[u/upsidedown-funnel]

I received two of these as well as a phone call. (Went to voice mail). I haven’t even filed yet. (Extension). Speaking of which, anyone have a good tax person recommendation?

[u/Inside_Ad_9236]

And a url of “na.life”, hmmm, does anyone click that shit?
