Random texts probing if you're free to answer a question often signal a scam attempt, as shared in these reports. Claiming a name like Tina before switching to location queries is a classic tactic to build trust and extract details. Block and ignore such messages immediately to avoid risks. If pressed for info, hang up or delete without responding. Report to your carrier or Action Fraud for tracking. Staying cautious with unknown contacts keeps personal data safe from fraudsters.
Another similar case – they asked if I was free to discuss something. Noted earlier reports about this number and chose to ignore it.
Could you let me know what you’re up to? I have a question for you.
A text from this number asked if I was free for a chat, claiming to be “Tina.” After apologising for a wrong number, they kept probing where I’m from, so I blocked them.
