Description
Received an unsolicited text from (250) 460-7961: "Did you see my message?" I replied "Who are you." The sender then said "I'm sorry, I think I entered the wrong area code. I hope I didn't spoil your nice day" and "My name is Natalie. May I know your name?" My phone filtered it as spam. This is a common wrong-number scam opener used to start a relationship or investment/romance scam. I did not give my name, pay anything, or share any information.
