I pay for still having a land line (thankfully that's the only number I receive them on).

There's a new one I saw today - not medical phishing, but a text impersonating AT&T. They said "It's time to check your iPhone battery health so click on the link below". Yeah, right. I called to warn my MIL about it right away. She's already gone through one bout of scamming where she gave them her SSN and verified all her banking info.
