Are "they" using the puppy lie in spam texts now?

Remember the stranger danger stuff for kids? And how these strangers...potential abductors would use help me find my lost puppy to entice children.

I just got a text saying "Dr James I got your number from my friend I'm Christina my puppy moves very slow and don't want to eat dog food I don't know what to do"

Think this is a similar puppy ruse? I almost sent something back but caught myself

@Linkat,
Doesn't feel like it, but still no reason to reply.

Sometimes when I get one of those spam text I’ll text back and ask for nude selfie, it usually works because I never hear back from them.

@roger,
That was my thought - I kind of felt bad so I was going to let this person know I was not this Dr....then I thought better, is this a spam or something so to be cautious I did not answer.

I would say a several years ago I did get an odd text - someone looking for somebody - I did text back saying I wasn't that person and they thanked me - at the time it did not occur to me that you could get spam and so forth via text.

I also had the opposite happen to me - I texted a "friend" and then the person texted back and said they were not who I thought it was - I had previously looked at it like a wrong number - I got a digit wrong.

Funny - what would happen it was someone willing to send this gift?

good idea - you would not be able to erase that image from your brain
