I was tricked by a phone-phisher pretending to be from my bank, and he convinced me to hand over my credit-card number, then did $8,000+ worth of fraud with it before I figured out what happened.

Just got a 'group' SMS this morning trying to phish multiple people at the same time, it is never ending.

I get those about once a week. "Your package cannot be delivered" Come on over here you spammy bastards, i'll deliver a package of my goddamn BOOT up the side of your arse! That's what I say. It helps me feel better, because why not feel better?
