Nobody's coming over. Best to delete and block.

No name or address details for you given. Scam.

I also received this same text last night. Was it a scam?

Text back and say 'is this regarding 221B Baker Street*, only I can't get there by 4, will 4.30 do? '
They'll be in Nigeria or some such, won't have read Sherlock Holmes and say 'yes' = proof of scam

*feel free to substitute address of local police HQ

MumAG4504 · 29/11/2023 16:26
