I got one of these two days ago. After a couple of texts where she apologized for the 'wrong number', I made the mistake of replying "No problem", I received this text a few minutes later:

"Well, since we're texting, let's be friends. My hometown is originally Singapore, but now I live in LA".

Red flags immediately. The number was a Texas area code. I started to reply and say that "Singapore is a country, not a town, and why do you have a Texas area code?"...but just deleted the whole thing.

I didn't even realize this was a scam until afterwards...
