Thanks!
My instincts were correct for once! I had scammers/spammers contact me back in like Jan or Feb of this year which was my third encounter in a relatively short amount of time. On a hunch/educated guess, I deleted that app. Haven't had any trouble since.....

You'd be amazed/horrified what info these apps are skimming/selling/leaking....most of them.

Agree. The words and phrases these scammers use are so off you should be able to tell reflexively that something is wrong.

“Check this out, man”

“Let me know what your offer is”

“Text me at [an email address]”

I bet chatgpt could create a much more realistic reply
