This number text me and had a ***ual overtones I have not fully opened it up “. Lovely stranger asking for my name
Harassing text messages
I received a text message from this number. The message was, "When will you arrive tomorrow?"
Didnt give a name
Just sent a text asking to talk for a moment.
They asked if I was home….
Received text this evening 'Do you have a reservation for dinner tomorrow?' Anyone that knows me also knows I've never made a dinner reservation in my life. Not at all threatening but to me is very peculiar, odd thing to ask. I've been getting texts regularly lately saying I must click the provided link or my SIM card will be erased. Now they're saying 'Last warning' but I refuse to click. I wondered if this text today may be related & attempting to bait me. It is all getting a bit aggravating. By
