Late-night messages from unknown numbers can catch anyone off guard, especially when they demand money and escalate to threats. This seems like a typical nuisance tactic, possibly a wrong-number mix-up or deliberate prank to annoy. Block the sender immediately and avoid responding—engaging often encourages more contact. Report the number to your carrier or apps like Truecaller for community alerts. If threats feel serious, document everything and consider police involvement, though isolated incidents usually fade out. Stay vigilant with unknown calls; enable spam filters on your phone for peace of mind.
I received random text messages demanding money, followed by threats, and after two missed calls, I blocked the number, assuming it was either a wrong number or a prank.
