I did not click on any links or reply to the message. I googled Larry Pobus quick to see if any scams were attached because I am so tired of all of these scammers getting away with so much all the time. They hurt the ones that are vulnerable and truly cannot afford any more financial hits. I was not a victim of this particular one but I was of another and it cost me a lot and I’m a single mom who could not afford the financial burden and setback. It is infuriating and if me reporting it helps at all in the slightest ever catch one of them or prevents someone else from being taken advantage of, it’s worth it to me. Scammers are sick lazy predators and this one is blantant with the person whose name they are using. I deleted it and had my service carrier block the number and “report it as junk”.
