heh my first ever "hi mum/dad" scam text, noice!

The number it was sent from and the number they provided are different.

I'm not responding, they'll know the number is active lol but tell me what you'd say - joke replies only ๐Ÿ˜‚

I'd know this was fake straight away because it doesn't include "What's for dinner".

I got one supposedly from my son, asking for $100 taxi fare home. He was in San Francisco at the time. That's a very cheap flight I reckon.
