Last weekend I recieved a rather random text saying

Secure Mail plan to deliver item *****
between 9-5 on 4/12
your ID & sig reqd
pls confirm by TEXT with Y or N + new date NOT before 4/12

In my suspicious mind I figured some unscrupulous company had sold my number and I was now destined to be the recipient of a large amount of text spam. And, because I have no desire to increase the frequency of said spam, I ignored it.

I got the same text the next day and got curious. I googled the text and saw that someone else had
received the same and they were also waiting for a passport. However, I just couldn't believe the passport service would send such random texts that give no indication of what you might be about to receive.

Yesterday I recieved a letter. Guess what? i should've responded to that text. But how was I to know?
