Warning others on these forums is the best thing you can do. These overseas
criminals are tough to bring to justice. I reverse lookup the number using
whitepages.com to get the company that owns their phone line and
make a complaint there. I am seeing alot of ones owned by bandwidth.com
which is a voip provider. It is frustrating. They switch and spoof their
numbers all the time.

Text asked me to navigate a chat messaging system. I suspect this is some catfish that would have a ghetto scam. Thanks Google Voice.

I received a text message on my (pay as you go) cell phone and very few people have my number.  This is very upsetting to me.
