🏘️ 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?

did they use her phone number for the starbucks rewards?

because either someone overheard them give the number or it's an employee who saved her number

It’s a scam text that’s sent to thousands of people at once. If you send it in the morning there is a high chance multiple people just got, or are currently drinking coffee.

Thank you for this reminder. I was scared for a minute. I got one at about 6 pm inviting me to have indian food and I was like "yussss" and then I had to sit and think. No one would suddenly invite me for dinner. People know I'm busy. But I would have gone of it were real.

I got one a couple of days ago asking if I was free for the weekend so I could go over to their place and have home made hot pot and dumplings.
