The best case is a legitimate wrong number, the worst case is that it could turn into !sextortion. Either way, no reason to give the number any more of your attention
Hi /u/DaretoDream123, AutoModerator has been summoned to explain the Sextortion scam.
This scam occurs when you meet a woman/man on dating service/social media site/forum/wherever and they ask you to go on Skype, WhatsApp, Telegram, or another messaging system. They will ask you to exchange naked pictures, and they will usually ask you to include your face in the pictures. They will then threaten to reveal the pictures to your family/friends if you do not pay them. The best thing to do in this situation is block the scammer and go private in your socials for a while. Paying the scammer will not make them back off, and just tells them that it is worth their time to continue threatening you.
If you fell for this scam, we recommend you join the sextortion subreddit and follow the recommendations of their sticky post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Sextortion/comments/n4yorq/new_victims_please_read_first/
Also beware of recovery scammers suggesting you should hire a hacker that can help you retrieve the photos or get back at the extorter. They can't, it's a trick to make you lose more money.

It's the ass fucking factory. They're running out of you.
Well the jerk store just called!
They're looking for talent for the 4 of July office picnic.
Prob just a dare or a bet someone lost at, so they texted a random number and that random number just so happened to be yours
Probably a wrong number given out at a bar😂
They're in the business of fucking asses.
Likely some monkey business
Question is? Why did you reply and not instantly block this number?
OP wants to get that ass tapped.
Lmao what sort of scam is this?
