Scam Description
I received a text message from an unrecognized phone number asking “is this [my name]?”
When I tried to call thinking lit was a friend who changed their number they sent me this: “I was wondering if you were interested in selling pics or anything like that. It would stay super discreet and I would pay weekly.”
I (not so respectfully) declined their offer and they stopped texting me after I scolded them. The # supposedly belongs to a man in his 70s from Texas.. but doubtful that it was him asking for “pics”
Didn’t know how report it until I found this site. With all the scams going on I regret texting them back to scold them.
Also been receiving fake emails and texts from apple, Netflix, Amazon, etc. asking to confirm a random game purchase, or to update my credit card, etc..
