RICHMOND, VA (WWBT)- Many of us text more than talk on our cell phone - and scammers are texting too. A weird text is showing up on some mobile phones in our area.

I got two phishing-type messages on my personal cell and decided to do a scam check with the Better Business Bureau.

Regardless of how tempted you are to text back or call the number in the message, the BBB says don't take the risk.

The weird texts come from random numbers @vtext.com. One came from NewgenerationsFCU and another showed up on my phone from VACAP-FCU... each with a number to call.

One number rings busy, the other has a detailed message instructing the caller.

"Thanks for calling the health enrollment group customer service department. Hold for the next available agent."

We held on until someone picked up. He explained the text may have been triggered by an online search and that people are always misdialing and getting the wrong number.

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT)- Summer heat could hit any day, so now's the time to figure out how you can cut costs on your power bill.

Here is a list of the top five things in your house that are sucking dollars out of your wallet.

1.  Almost half your power bill is heating and cooling costs. Dirt on the outside of the unit is costing you money.

"The better the coils can transfer air across then the more efficient it's going to operate," said Mike Wade, CEO of See Logix.

Dirt strains the fan too, so keep the unit clean.

Changing your filter helps clean air move more freely throughout the system, but dirt can get by the filter, building up on the cooling coil. Gently scrape away the gunk to help your system run better.

Also, consider a programmable thermostat - it will allow you to manage the run time.

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT)- Welcome to Virginia. The vanity plate capital of the US. One in every six Virginian's has vanity tags on their cars. That's more than a million Virginian's who pay an extra $10 a year to speak their minds on their bumpers.

But- not every message is welcome. Army veteran Sean Bujno had a license plate on his car for years before the Department of Motor Vehicles asked for it back.

It reads: "ICU HAJI".

The dictionary defines 'Haji' as one who has made a pilgrimage to Mecca, but it's also a derogatory word for Arabs.

"Some people say this is just a license plate, but it actually is about the first amendment. This is about a fundamental right," said Andrew Meyer. He's a Richmond-based attorney, one of two men representing Bujno.

Rachel: "Did he mean it as a racial slur as some people are saying?"
