  • SMS scams

    From Graeme Wall@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jun 23 13:20:45 2025
    Got a scam message about an unpaid parking fine (£20, when were they
    that low?) with threats of court action etc. The interesting thing is it
    only showed up on an old iPad I use as a music server, neither my
    current iPad or my iPhone received it! How does that work then?

    Better SMS spam checking in the current iOS/iPadOS?

    Possibly, hadn't thought of that. It's on 15.8.4.
