This turned out ok, but this kind of text looks a lot like the “pig butchering scam” that’s getting coverage recently
Pig-Butchering starts with a seemingly innocent text message, and once the scammers catch a victim, they convince them to start investing in crypto. They have the victim set up an account on a fake crypto exchange, and over the course of months, they steal more and more of the victim’s money.
The first time someone mentions crypto to me and they seriously consider it an investment I automatically judge them as foolhardy with their money. This doubles if they try to convince me to put money in crypto. My internal thoughtis “that’s nice honey. After you finish your milk and cookie, you can go play with your friends.”
