I've gotten a few in the last couple months, with a US cellular number that I've had for over 20 years. At least two are "I missed you at the gym today!" via text and another was from a Vermont area code via WhatsApp to a "Dr. Jack":
> Hi Dr. Jack! My cat is very slow and does not eat cat food. Can you make an appointment for me?
> Sorry, you have the wrong number
> Sorry, I just checked, I entered a wrong number, please don't mind. hope I did not disturb you.
> Best of luck with your cat!
> thank you for understanding. You are a kind person. where do you come from.
And then I just moved on with my day, because as nice as that sounded I wasn't looking for a conversation.
The contact profile image is of a young, attractive Asian woman, I think at a restaurant. No reverse image results on Tineye or Google.
[Edit: I’ve had this number for over 20 years (not “nearly 20”) and now I feel old.]
