I received an SMS saying 'Hi, how are you?' and responded that I had recently switched phones to identify the sender. They answered with an unfamiliar name and called me Charlie. After I told them the number was wrong, they asked who I was speaking to and mentioned they were new to Australia after moving from South Korea.

Expert Opinion
Like a misplaced postcard from a stranger, this SMS exchange feels off from the start, blending casual chit-chat with odd details that don't add up. The generic greeting, unfamiliar name, and sudden backstory about moving from South Korea to Australia scream potential scam tactics or wrong-number ploy to extract info. It's wise to block the number immediately—never share personal details like your name or location. Report it to your carrier or authorities if it persists, and enable spam filters on your phone to dodge similar nuisances. Staying vigilant keeps your data secure without engaging shady threads.
