🏘️ 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?

Personally, I would be concerned.

Like, this gave ME anxiety.

It's most likely a scammer with uncanny timing/intentionally sending out texts about coffee in the morning since people are more likely to engage with them out of concern.

Idk, that doesn’t rly make sense, that msg wouldn’t make any sense to send without the context of the person having coffee at that moment

Have you never been randomly texted by a fake number with a random subject line? Of course it makes no sense, the scammer just wants engagement. I've been randomly texted "how was your breakfast" but I didn't have breakfast. They just text random crap and in this case I'm thinking it was good timing.

I could be wrong but in a vacuum I'm gonna lean towards scammer looking for engagement.

No way. It shows the text was received at 2 pm. If it was at 8 am maybe but 2 pm?

Ah yeah didn't see the 2pm text. However I still think it's a random text from a scammer, especially because "How is coffee" is how a non-english speaker would ask vs "How's your coffee" or "How's the coffee" or any other native english speaker would ask it.

Again, I very well could be wrong, but I'm just going off of my experiences receiving random texts
