I got one which appeared at first to be a wrong number, just someone asking if I was Catherine or something. I politely informed them of their mistake. They kept messaging, already a bit weird, but then started saying I was "a nice man, nothing like other men" and I slapped that block button. Idk where it was going (not even a man lol, sorry love) but I'm confident it would have ended with asking me for money... Eventually.
That was a pig butchering scam
Jeeeesus fucking Christ. John Oliver is pretty funny but it almost doesn't feel acceptable to be laughing during some of that. Anyway, glad I didn't fall for it 😬
