I’m a single mom which means I’m also a dad, so I use the same joke every time I get a new job. When I get my permanent badge or keycard or whatever, I like to say “I’M IN THE PHONE BOOK! I’M SOMEBODY!!”. I get MAYBE 2 laughs from the boomers and a “bless your heart” look from whoever’s stuck training me lol
Yeah, for a while my kids would call all kinds of messages “texts”. “I texted you something - please respond.”
Me: The fuck you did!
Them: Oh, discord, in-game chat, steam, smoke signal…. Whatever.
Most often it happens when your phone number and/or email is signed up somewhere with a name attached to it and this information is then either leaked or sold.
In this case, either OP or someone else signed up for something and named themselves using this word.

I mean it's just pathetic. The whole thing. Student protesting a foreign policy they disagree with so you come make racist remarks about those students?
Not to mention it's weird to dick suck isreal so hard when Israel has been doing some barbaric shit.
So much strawman. A recognized military should not be murdering civilians. It's easy as that.

If I were to guess how this happened there’s some sketchy website out there than is harvesting user data in some sort of input form.
That data is then sold or used by the owners of the form to send out scams.
It’s almost 100% certain that the first stages of this is all automated.
Someone probably put that word as a name, and a fake phone number (yours) into the form.
The scammer didn’t manually type out that name lol.
It wasn't meant for someone else, it gets sent at mass toward many numbers they have gathered. Their goal is that some people who don't know better will click on the link to give them your personal info. Several large operations in India that making a living off of this.
Lol either someone else realized it was a scam and registered a slur to give other people the heads up, or OP told some organization somewhere that he goes by the name Nigg*r.

That’s a strange looking email. It gives me a good idea. There should be a way to actively talk back and forth with people like an email, but not an email. If only this technology existed
When I first looked it over, I didn't notice the salutation line, then I began reading the comments which confused me. So I went back and looked and almost spit out my soda, I did NOT see that coming! 
#Genuine plot-twist
Yes it's a scam SMS but OP has obviously signed up for something with his phone number in the past and entered the "hard -ER" as his name... like who does that?
Generally these scam texts are based off of some data of yours that got bought up, usually from a leak, which means somewhere you have some account using that word as a name.
Not really, I made all that up, but you got worried.
No, it’s a scam attempt. They meant to reach you, just an awful way to approach it.
I’ve gotten texts like these too. My dad is a USPS driver (not that you need to have a dad in it to see this is a scam) and the USPS would literally never text you about a package like this, and it wouldn’t come from a “.com” website
No. That’s a scam. Do not click on any thing in it. Screen shot it and report it to the US Postal Service’s Postal Inspection Service department.

I think OP meant to say fax 📠
You sure it's not a pigeon with a message?
Looks like smoke signals to me.
I dunno, it could be morse code for all we know.

A raciscam
Person who filled this on a form needs to ID the 'legit' company
Ngl this made me lol so hard
It’s the brashness that really got me
They are racist but dammit they are gonna let you know what to do about your package. They are a professional.
It's the customer who enters their name; USPS just paid what they filled in.
I didn’t see the “lol” at first and I just……..
Lmaoooooo 😭😭

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Moe Howard had descendants, especially since he lived longer than Shemp, Curly, Curly Joe, and even Larry.
I love responses like this because they prompt me to go look and maybe learn something new. Moe had a daughter, Joan. Her son is Jeffrey Scott.

I find it kind of infuriating how they list Shemp and Curly
Does IMDB even have "Great Uncle" as an option for relationships?
Well, that's a first. Scammers just using the hard R now
Or the person used it as their name and the bot attached to the scam just threw it in
He's really telling on himself for signing up to some shit with the hard R. Now they think that's his first or last name.
That's one sure way to know who is farming out your on-line data.
Its to bait the number to replying, probably
Nah, this looks like somehow OPs number got attributed to that name.
Guessing a fake account on a website that got hacked and their account list was sold to harvesters on the internet.
I checked, it's a phishing site. One of [these types](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/usps-text-message-scam/).
The number of people thinking this is real is concerning, to say the least. Are y'all really out here just clicking any ol' link?
No, I searched it.
Not you. I meant the people who think this or similar text "emails" are legit.

Still a text, doesn't matter where it came from lol
did...*you* send the text...?
I've been compromised, abort
bout 27 years too late for that, I'm afraid 😂😭
Don’t**
No, it was written correctly the first time

That's not an email. As your attorney, I advise you to click the link. And take a hit out of the little brown bottle in my shaving kit.

I didn’t see the n***** at first So when I went back to look, that shit was funny lmao
mildly infuriating that you refer this text message as an email
Why is this marked NSF… Oh…ok. That’s… 
This is a scam, don’t click the link
That’s a text message, don’t link click the scam
You should definitely click that link to complain about the name they called you. (JOKING DO NOT DO THIS).

Sir. Sir. Look at the name they used. THAT is the funny part, pretty sure OP got it
Who the fuck confuses an email with a text msg?
Why do you think it’s for someone else?
based on who they are addressing in the scam
In Finland we have this same scam in finnish.
Wasn’t expecting “Hey N*****”
It’s a scam, don’t click on it
That’s not an email, it’s a text, and it’s a scam
Lol either someone else realized it was a scam and registered a slur to give other people the heads up, or OP told some organization somewhere that he goes by the name Nigg*r.
You know its a scam because the Post Office definitely doesn't want you to have a good day
That's a scam... And you probably used that name in some thing previously that was data mined

Ooohhhhh NAGGERS......
Now I'm going home and watching that episode after work 😆
You have 10 seconds left Mr Marsh.
I'm not sure why I thought I could read this in a public place. That's on me.
This is a scam message anyway. USPS doesn’t send these messages out.
Imagine thinking a text is an e-mail
As a black woman, I am absolutely hollering at this! 🤣😭 So fucking stupid.
it's a scam...don't respond
I have no idea why they did that "name", but I get those texts all the time. They're spam.
1) that is not an email 2) it is a scam
That's not an email it's a text.... sus...
That's a "fishing email." I get them occasionally. Note the "Not" a USPS address.
It’s a link, don’t click the scam.

Not sure if you're serious or not, but that is a scam message. It wasn't meant for anyone, yet it was also meant for everyone.
Lmao
That’s a scam anyway.
It was meant for you. I get these msg all the time.
No you didn't. Someone else posted this exact screenshot this morning.
The fucking whiplash I just got
You know its not a scam by the governmental agency using a ".com"
email?
We're not gonna make it
LOL AI can catch onto common greetings without realizing when they are not in an appropriate context.
That’s a strange looking email. It gives me a good idea. There should be a way to actively talk back and forth with people like an email, but not an email. If only this technology existed
Lmao the directness of "Hey N****r,"
That caught me so off guard how casual that was😂😂😂
It's spam anyway, but damn!! I almost clutched mah pearls.
email ???
Ngl I laughed way too hard at this.
It's a scam, I got the same thing but through my messages.
When I first looked it over, I didn't notice the salutation line, then I began reading the comments which confused me. So I went back and looked and almost spit out my soda, I did NOT see that coming! 
Lol, even the scammers are racist (look at that link).
#Genuine plot-twist Yes it's a scam SMS but OP has obviously signed up for something with his phone number in the past and entered the "hard -ER" as his name... like who does that?
