I have gotten a strange amount of texts and calls from people who are either extremely competent scammers, or more likely just seem to think I am their grandma, or friend, or something.
Not really sure why this is happening. They all have very in depth stories, usually poorly spelled, and after they say enough things I point out I am not who they think theyre contacting and then they stop.
But it keeps happening with completely different people in totally different situations?
Either my number is just some magnet for confused people or some very odd con job is attempting to target me?

Maybe pig butchering scams? John Oliver did a piece on them recently that was pretty enlightening, but this wiki summarizes it okay: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_butchering_scam
Wonderful, last thing I need if it is that.
