Sent a message saying "Hello! Can we have a short talk right away?", i did respond since i don't have a lot of my friends numbers saved and they replied "Hi, I'm Elsie. We have a role available and I'd love to invite you to take a look. Shall I send the details so you can review before deciding?", so i replied "Sorry, think you got the wrong number mate. Cause I'm an 11 year old" (I'm not) and blocked them. Lowkey wish i searched up the number before replying, but oh well

Text received “Hi, can you talk for a minute? Today?” Honestly thought it was a mate who had changed their number. Did a quick check on here and found lots of warnings that it’s a scam. It’s the first time I’ve nearly fallen for one of these as it was so informal. And once you reply, they know it’s an active number and keep trying with different numbers.
