Bogus Holland and Lieberman Text Message
If you do it, you get redirected to a page where you have to take a survey. It seems simple, so you do it—four questions with multiple answer options. After you fill out the bogus survey, you receive a notification that you got approved for the Holland and Lieberman lawsuit settlement!
From there, you have to put some personal information, and at the end, you are offered a draw for a free iPhone 12 Pro. Then, of course, more info is required, and they ask for a $5 customs fee. What does that mean? It means you have to submit your credit card, so you don't want to do that.
