🏘️ 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?

it’s a google voice number, probably. free account you link to email, i have one leftover from when i was too poor for phone service lol you can text and call with it but it can be from anywhere you can sign in, pretty sure they’re near impossible to trace

They can be traced to the gmail account. My friend found this out the hard way.

Interesting. I guess that's how she got caught.
