Got a text asking if I was free for a quick chat, then it turned into some fake job offer thing. Looks like phishing to me.

looked like a fake job scam.
Text message "can we talk, this minute?" Unknown caller.............. BLOCKED
The message I received was "Hey, can I ask you something ?"
Hello, can I have a few minutes of your time? Probably not 🤦🏻♀️
this number messaged my friend, claims their name is Lily Nelson? My friend hasn’t apply for a job… “Lily”: “Hi, are you free for a quick word now?” friend: “Sorry I don’t have this number saved, who’s this?” “Lily”: “Hi, I’m Lily Nelson. We have a role available and I’d love to invite you to have a look. Shall I send the details so you can take a look before deciding?” friend: “A role where, I haven’t applied for a job?” Now there is no answer, just be careful if this person messages you.
"Hey there are you around for a quick word? at the moment?" Oddly the number showed up as a +44 despite me being in the UK. Time to report and block.
"Hello, can we have a brief talk." Anonymous and unrecognised number. Clearly a scam.
Mine went: Hi there, are you free for a quick chat? this minute? Now blocked
Like loads of others i have just received an unsolicited text saying, "Hello! Are you around for a brief moment?" I am really hoping i am around for a lot longer than that but, hey they may know something i don't !!
Out of the blue “is now a good time for a quick chat?” Number unknown to us
Text message “Hello, how have things been for you? Do you have a moment to chat?”
I got the same, about 23:15!
