I had something really weird happened to me the last few days. I’m gonna post it, just in case anyone else has had it. And also because I live in a big city, and there are bill boards everywhere saying to watch out for romance scams now (?!).
Anyways yesterday someone texted me from a number I didn’t recognize, out of my state. They said they were looking for someone called Mike. So I told them that they had the wrong number nicely, and wished them a good day. Then they continued to text me, and asked me questions about myself and stuff. I figured it was one of my family members fucking with me, because we do that kind of stuff to each other, and so I went along with it, just fucking around. I told them I was from the planet Uranus, and my name was you Userpees.
Anyways it went on for a long time and I started to realize that it wasn’t the sense of humor, that we share in my family when we do that stuff. It was way too ass kissy, serious and non vulgar. By that point I had told them a fake name that was believabl, and that I was a yoga instructor from Medellin. They kept texting and texting, and so I stopped responding. They started asking for my WhatsApp and my telegram and they sent me a picture of them self. They looked like a very beautiful young lady. I think the picture was just a stock picture from Google images though. I’m pretty sure I have even seen it before online.
I never said anything nasty I just stop responding. They sent me like 8 texts in a row asking me why I stop responding, and if it was because they had asked for my telegram or WhatsApp. I just didn’t respond.
Anyways today a new number text me, from out of state, and the exact same thing. This time I told them straight off the bat just to fuck off. I’m wondering if this is some kind of like phishing or romance scam thing. And what they were working towards? Anyone else experienced this via text? I’m used to getting scam calls but never texts.
