This is definitely a scam. Better not respond at all.

Got the exact same text as others mentioned here. So, I just chose to ignore it and not reply.

Nearly got caught out by this one. Got a message from someone saying they were my son, said his phone was busted and he was on a different number. We texted back and forth a lot, and eventually they tried to get me to pay some sort of bill. This number is definitely dodgy. Best to just ignore any messages or calls from it. Luckily, I spotted it before anything happened. Stay safe, this is a proper scam.

Today I got a text saying something like: 'Mum, it's pouring outside and I dropped my phone in the rain, now it’s soaked and won’t switch on.. could you text me on 07716554943 for now thanks x' Totally feels like one of those dodgy scams to me.

Got a call from someone claiming my phone was out of order and I should text a different number instead. Total scam, don’t fall for it.

Just got a message from 07704605112, but when I looked it up, there was nothing at all on that number. The text said something like, "Hi mum, having a rough day, my phone’s broken, can you text me back?" Honestly, that sounds a bit off to me, maybe even risky.

This sort of scam has been around ages, even showed up on a couple of telly shows about cons from a few years ago. A big problem nowadays is all the young folks feeling it’s a hassle to answer calls and prefer sorting their money stuff through apps. They usually send a follow-up saying they need a loan sent to a mate’s account for some bills. Like the police’s Action Fraud site says, just forward the text to 7726 and then block the number to be safe.

They pretended to be a kid asking for messages to be sent to that number.

Got a dodgy message pretending to be my mum saying she’d broken her phone and to use a different number for a bit. Definitely wasn’t my kid. Bet the next one would’ve been asking for cash. Total scam.
