WEIRD PHONE TEXT
#26490353 - 02/17/20 03:58 PM (3 years, 11 months ago) |

So, got a text the other day saying, "hello, I was trying to reach some guy off tinder, but he's not responding and I got your number. I'm bored and adventurous, what you up to?" So I said, "I'm 55, married, and I like big old chubby teddy bear grandpa men with grey hair and look like santa, any more questions?" The response was still trying to get me, like it was an INSTANT response, much too fast for a person. I reported it as spam and deleted it. What is this? Is it a boot thing? How did it get my number? Will I get more now that I texted back?

That's super weird, maybe someone you know had their phone stolen and the guy who stole it met him off tinder? Most of the bots that contact me on the phone seem to do it via phone call, I haven't had any bots contact me via text message, but it's possible.

What is this? A droid wants your dong.
Is it a boot thing? It's a booty thing.
How did it get my number? These robo-skeezas are in cahoots with the NSA.
Will I get more now that I texted back? I'm afraid now they are sending in the big guns.

It's a scam.
We keep getting ones threatening to disconnect the internet. Ones in Chinese which apparently when translated are threats saying the person is wanted on charges back in China and won't be able to go home unless they sort it out (or alternatively that they have documents from the embassy they need to pay for). Some from solar companies or the tax office. Or the most common calling from Microsoft or $ISP claiming you have been hacked and won't you just run this executable or change your DNS settings to our server that redirects your bank/paypal to a fake site (not so common now with https/certificate pinning in modern browsers).
All in thick Indian accents where you can hear the other people in the background. Also they don't respond right away because they call dozens of numbers at once and probably have a computer listen to a response.
The future it will be worse, it won't be long before someone uses deep learning to change peoples accents in real time so they sound local.

Maybe a phishing bot. I don’t see you buying some “miracle” product off a Tinder random but, if you’re bored, you might engage in conversation/flirting and let slip some personal info. Anything will help if they’re trying to crack your PW, or if they already have a lot of your info and are only missing a few pieces for a certain scam.

I keep getting some lady texts me and wants to buy my house. Most likely a scam, I never respond.

I got a flyer on my door asking if we want to sell, and if not, keep the flyer for when and if you do want to! Our house went up 70 grand in 2 years, Denver FTW!

Quote her an outrageous price and see what happens! And how do you know it's a lady?
