    Your new friend Invited you to use sensay to find help with anything with website link and download link.
    Before anything I tried to find on Google and found several websites with no reliable resources speaking of this amazing new revolution of the world texting app idea but is obviously fake and a scam. Wouldn't be a terrible idea though what they're BS'n about.

    Before your curiousness intrigues you into looking up because I don't want someone to get a virus- it's just talks about how an at random text messaging app built by numbers of users asking each other questions could out do google. True but long ways away

    OK, Thanks.  I am still not sure what the attraction is.  You got a spam ad about an app that will "help you find  anything with website link and download link"?  And "it's just talks about how an at random text messaging app built by numbers of users asking each other questions could out do google."  Right.   Doesn't sound revolutionary to me.  You are right about one thing, going to a site you get from a spam ad is NOT a good idea.

    Your post reads a little too much like a spam ad itself,  to me.  Maybe I am nervous, but the way it is written, it might just send someone in search that app.  I am kicking this upstairs to let Admin take a look.

    A little discussion about sensay here : https://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-844-612-7142

    Google the phrase : sensay site:800notes.com

    and you will find in the search results that several phone numbers have been spamming this service / gimmick.

    I looked into the actual site and they give "sensay points" for participating. As every reported spam text has a code after the domain name in the link, and the codes are different, that sounds like to me that it's a form of affiliate marketing, where the person who "owns" the affiliate code gets some "sensay points" to be used for whatever the company might offer them.

    So instead of the sensay company being the spammer, their enthusiastic users are the spammers. It's using crowd-sourcing to do the spamming, where the crowd is personal phones, which makes it difficult to impossible to block.

    I am wondering how the FTC and FCC could create some regulations to disallow this and to give cease-and-desist orders and punishment for giving incentives to their users for promoting via unwanted calls and texts. Other stupid marketing people will try to mimic this also.

    Honestly, I do believe its a scam as every number that sends the text is completely different from the last. I have researched it for the passed three hours  trying to see what it is all about and only to come to the conclusion that this is unsafe. How can you be sure that your number is going to be hidden? You can't be. Its that simple. If someone can see your number, say the wrong stranger, they could hunt for you by tracking the GPS receiver in your device, and you could get hurt or worse, killed. I don't trust it, and honestly I don't think anyone else should either.
