Michael Porter A friend was in the Toronto area last weekend and got this scam SMS today. Quite a coincidence. Is it possible that the scammers are using Stingray-type devices to scrape phone numbers for this kind of thing? I don't know much about the devices or how they work, just that they exist.

I keep and edit these to train relatives. This one ticks all the boxes:
✓ Non-local (West Virginia in this case) area code (not shown)
✓ Scary language to throw the recipient off balance
✓ Chinese URL
✓ Standard scammer tactic to make the link (and any forthcoming) links active by inviting a reply

Scientists Finally Make Heads of Giant #Stingray Tails
The long structures seen in #mantarays and their relatives function as an early warning system, rather than a defensive weapon.
The team discovered that the stiff tissue of a cownose ray’s tail was pockmarked with holes. The 3-D scans revealed that these holes were linked to the #fish’s #lateralline canal, a system of sensory organs found in fish and amphibians.
