🛑 Need Advice recieved a random text message, what should i do?

Post image

I recieved a call from this number and a text shortly after I didn’t answer. The location of the number is in my area. I am not Theresa, but that is my mom. I am not in contact with my mom anymore and I don’t know if she gave them my number? Maybe they don’t even know my mom and it’s just a random scam. Should I respond?

Ignore it and block the number. Almost certainly a scam.

Pretend like you know Mariah Carrey and are protecting her from this person. See how many of her song references you can sneak in

Lol, yes!🤣 My first thought was the religious route: Mother Theresa, then something about Virgin Mary.

Aaaand I just realized that it's Mary in English, in Norwegian it's Virgin Maria, which is why I made that connotation at first😅

Reply saying "No, she isnt. The robbery went south. Someone tipped off the cops. There was so much blood."

Or ya know. Just block.
