Scammers often send messages pretending they have contacted the wrong person.

What seems like an innocent mistake can be the beginning of a long-term scam designed to build trust and persuade victims to invest money, purchase cryptocurrency, or share personal information.

REMEMBER:

  • Be cautious when responding to texts from unfamiliar numbers.

  • Avoid sharing personal or financial information.

  • Do not click links sent by unknown contacts.

  • End conversations that feel unusual or overly friendly.
