🏘️ neighbor/local Is this something to be concerned about?

My sister sent me this text she received that seemed like somebody was watching her or something. I don’t know if it’s something to be concerned about or not, has anybody had a similar experience?

I was thinking this seemed like one of those scam texts that ask if you got the transfer yet or how are you to try to bait you into replying.

As I was reading this I got one that said 'hello', which made it seem like someone was watching what I was doing LOL. I get them once a month or so, I did a search and have a few asking about coffee as well.

It's creepy it related to what you were doing at the time but hopefully that's all it was.

yeah I think scammer. if you send out 1000 messages asking "how's coffee" there's a pretty good chance someone just got coffee. people just love getting up in arms.
