New iPhone scam
 
For me. Just got text alert, said I owned toll road fees for 2024. To get out of paying late fees click or text here with no identification. I wasn’t on Any toll roads in 2024. IMO don’t ever respond to this nonsense. IMO what would be helpful for forum to have possible scam section where posters can report scams to help others determine if it’s scam or not related to their circumstances?

Not a new iPhone scam, just another generic scam.

My bank account has been hacked, my Amazon account has been hacked, the mortgage company is going to foreclose on my home, Paypal account has been hacked, the post office can't deliver a package that I never ordered, the service contract I never had for my car needs to be renewed. Those are just the ones I can remember right now. My life is rough!!!

Not phone specific....Moto, Samsung, Huawei and a bunch more receive the same messages, worldwide. Getting specific may lead some people to believe that only the iPhone is susceptible
