Received a strange text today

[Sweaty_Yeti12]

Hello,

I'm a former TX hobbyist, currently residing in NC. The hobby scene isn't nearly as good as back home in the DFW area. Though I've had some hits, but mostly misses 😅

I was curious how worried I should be about a vaguely worded text that I received today. It stated that my information is being monitored in connection with soliciting prostitution. They didn't state they were any form of Law Enforcement official. But due to the wording, and overall tone of the text. It seems to be just a thinly veiled phishing/extortion attempt.

I blocked the number & reported it as spam as my initial course of action.

Any advice, ideas, or thoughts on the subject would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

Ow. No burner #?

I'd ignore. Doubt LE are giving a heads up.




I'm sure someone out there would have called it and seen how good their sales tactics were. Never know what you can learn.
Ignore though.


Did you check that number out? Check if the area code resides in a area where your cell company might HQ out of.
Think even a cell company would address themselves as such. Not sure what's in their TOS about warrants.

if the text came into your hobby phone is one thing, not a biggie. Likely someone's s.o. has accessed her hobby phone.

If the text came into your RW cell, then the issue is why are you not using a hobby phone!

Any case, you did the right thing, blocking and reporting the texting number as spam.
