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.

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.
