Received a text msg from +1 907 799 7086 (Alaska!) with IRS logo claiming my 2024 tax return is pending acceptance. Should click a link before 24 hrs. Obvious fraud.

Wonder how this can happen. I reported them.

There have been hundreds of data breaches that have exposed cell phone numbers, it's probably one of the least private pieces of personal information.  Or it could even be a program sending messages to random numbers.
