From Telegram to YouTube the Pharma WEF bots have been employing every possible tactic in the comments section, as arguing and insulting has got them nowhere they have now taken to impersonating the author... Which means you are over the target and they fear their house of cards narrative is about to collapse on them

Yes they are. I really doubt you would ask me to text you for something big (💸), although it was momentarily flattering to think you would have commented on my comment to your post. No, I didn’t text the number. This septuagenarian is not that easily taken in by scams.

Yes, l received it - and promptly binned it .. worrying though - Substack is such an amazing place in so many ways where you can actually debate and exchange ideas with respect .. it would be truly horrific if the last place on the www became infected and unusable!

A lot of this going round. But the message always comes down to "call me" or "contact me" or some nonsense. Always a link or #. And, obviously, you don't need to do that -- you're right here and can just reply on the comment thread.

Yikes! That must mean you're over the target.

Many are being attacked by bots.

Stay vigilant

They all have included a phone number.

Report and delete them

These bots send a mobile number pretending to be the Substack author, it's phishing.

Well done on this.

Look - anybody gives you a number easy to call is somebody to doubt and bots are about, so really folks - get a clue and don't respond to obvious attempts at what I wonder, but a bot is a bot and us humans can identify them quick - and then we got them if you know what I mean. I mean we own them when they are evident and easily captured!

Funny thing was I saw this bot at two places and the phone number was the same - seems like it would be easy to track them down and then - let them have it - bot death!

This is a tech form of attack that amounts to Denial of Service. It is waged by one Big Tech company against another, a company with weaker AI filters. Substack had better solve the problem before it becomes irrelevant.

Dr Tess thank you for acknowledging you are aware of this. I received 3 messages from ‘you’ over night, all sent at different times and with slightly different wording. ATROCIOUS grammar. Knew it was most definitely NOT from you! ☺️
