Description

Somebody randomly texted my phone” come to my house for dinner”. I recognized that it was a strange number just like it was two weeks prior and the person said that they were from Los Angeles and they met me at somebody’s house that was two weeks ago today I said yes I’m your friend just to see what would happen and then they said no we’re not friends. I made a mistake but we can be friend” They tried to pull some weird mind trick. Like they thought they had somebody that was I guess super lonely. This has been happening to my phone a lot over the past year and half. It used to just be emails but now it’s emails and texts to my phone number. Usually it’ll come through as an email for a job opportunity. That’s too good to be true so I guess when they figured I’m not gonna fall for that then they started trying to text my phone. Now I have text messages in my phone that were sent from strange numbers talking about this great job that is too good to be true. These people need to be prosecuted to the furthest extent possible the max sentence that is the only way this is going to stop.
