I’ve gotten a few of these, but I just moved so it only included Google maps images of my old apartment, and I guess the data scrape didn’t get my phone number, so it included language like “I bet you wouldn’t like it if I called you at 0000000000, would you?”

I’m savvy enough to laugh and delete, but I’m sure this would be very effective against some older Americans.

Yeah, I definitely knew it was fake when they called it a “beautiful neighborhood”. My friend did you even look at the picture you sent?

I especially like when they tell me my address lol, as if I’m supposed to be scared into responding.
