Does anyone else get random "oops wrong person" texts and then they want to know your name? Super scammy vibe from two people who "accidentally" texted me recently then wanted to know my name.

@RoxieTech
No, and I bet it's because I'm not a woman. That sounds really suspicious.

@RoxieTech
Ouch
I feel left out of a new scam
Never had this happen

@RoxieTech Occasionally. I give them one polite notice that they have the wrong number. Further attempts to contact me result in a block.

@RoxieTech Social engineering. They get bits and pieces of info here and there and use that info to get more info. Pretty soon they know everything about you.

Block the number and delete the message.
