Wrong Number Text Scam Messages Sent by Scammers

• Scamming - Fraud

There is a new scam where scammers send a text to a random number. The scammers start by saying "Hello" or asking who is texting. They then respond by saying something like, "it's Sarah, sorry I didn’t get back to you but my assistant forgot to call you last night while I was in a meeting." They try to sound super important, busy, wealthy and so on. When you respond by letting them know they have the wrong number they keep texting back and that's how it all begins if one continues to respond. I've received MANY of these texts and they are ALL the same.
