Getting a lot of unfamiliar texts [View all]

They appear to be wrong numbers...usually someone posing as someone needing a response...waiting for you at the airport, need to feed your pet...

Some of them are looking for sexual meet-ups with messages like "I had fun last night".

I do not respond to these and block the number. I can not believed they have my interests at heart. Are these just bots trying to verify that a random number is good?

Just curious about what else might be at risk if I answer.

Always curious about how electronic scams work.
