As many members of this forum do, I host my photos on Flickr. With the exception of a few pictures of my dogs, every picture is of a either a model or prototype train. Over the part 24 hours I have received two text messages saying that they have seen my "dirty pictures" on Flickr, and they will make them public unless I contact them immediately. I discarded the messages and reported them as junk. I thought it was pretty funny because the "dirtiest" picture I have posted to Flickr is of a Durango & Silverton diesel blasting a bunch of black exhaust. I also may have posted pictures of some heavily weathered models that look filthy.
I am not sure that Flickr even has my cell phone information, so it may just be a random use of Flickr's name rather than Flickr actually getting hacked, but I thought I would mention it in case anyone else receives a similar text message.
I laughed about it, but it certainly is possible that someone gets scammed.
