Iranians, Russians receive text messages seeking U.S. election hacking info

Frst off, if people in Japan started getting text messages offering up to $10 million for information about the Japanese effort to train Godzilla to attack Russia, do you think there'd be a lot of puzzled Japanese wondering if they were being targeted for a cyber attack or scam?

And do you think there'd be enough people offering up 'evidence' to convince the folks who believe Covid19 was bioengineered that such an effort was real, rather than a fantasy?

And while the view OUTSIDE Iran is that the 'regime' would target innocent Iranians for merely receiving such communications from the US government, the view INSIDE Iran is rather different according to the University of Maryland's Center For International and Security Studies

When Mohamad first got the text message offering him up to $10 million for information about attempts to interfere with the U.S. election, he thought it was "some kind of cyber attack."

He did not think it was an interesting new twist on the usual $10 from a dead Nigerian princess that were just waiting for him?
