Expert Opinion

Beware immediately of unsolicited texts like this one mimicking a family emergency. Scammers often impersonate relatives in distress to extract money or personal info, preying on your concern. Never respond or send funds without independent verification—call the person directly using a known number, not the one provided. Block the sender and report to authorities to prevent further attempts. Protect your details by enabling two-factor authentication on accounts. If you've engaged, monitor for identity theft signs and freeze credit if needed. Stay vigilant; these ploys evolve quickly.
