Got a text about a paid focus group, feels like a scam
I got a text message saying they're hosting a focus group for Maryland residents that pays 100 dollars. It said to fill out a qualifying survey at a link: https://txtrq.co/FPXeC9. The message came from the phone number (423) 960-1949.
I never signed up for anything like this. The whole thing feels off. They said to reply "remove2end" to opt out, which is weird. I'm pretty sure this is a phishing attempt to get my information. I didn't click the link or lose any money, but I don't like getting these random texts.

Got a text about a focus group paying $250, seems like a scam.
I got this text saying they’re hosting a focus group for Oregon residents that pays 250 dollars. It told me to fill out a qualifying survey at this link: https://txtrq.co/u3STUZ. The message ended with “Thanks! to opt out reply remove2end” and then “Remove2End.” I do live in Portland, Oregon, so that part matched, but the whole thing felt off. I didn’t click the link. It just seems like a scam.
