I recently received a text saying something like “Hi Bob! I received the case of wine, but it was the 1987 Chardanay instead of the 1989 Burgandy. Please get back to me.”
I replied “Wrong number” to it. Then thought - oh crap. And did a search. Turns out it is a scam and then they use it to “befriend” you and bring you in deeper.
About two hours later I got the reply from the “wine guy”. “Hey - sorry about that. Yeah, they won’t refund me saying it was my mistake. You want a case of wine for cheap!? I can’t stand white wine.”
I blocked the number.
I used to reply to wrong number texts just out of courtesy. Then they started getting weird and I realized these were some sort of scam. No more.
I’m a fat 76 YO but you’d be surprised at how many hot young chicks have wanted me in the past few years. They usually text my number by mistake but are willing to continue chatting. Doesn’t take long for them to succumb to my charms. Sadly, the relationships end when they find I don’t have any money.
