So I get this at 8 AM this morning via text:
CONTRACT
Hello (my name), most of us had conflicts this past week, some still out of town. Tony will contact you with the next steps, he has been copied on this email. Look for contact from him. Thanks, Ray.
Never heard of any of these people and when I responded that they had wrong person and wrong number I got nothing back. What in the frick???
Oh and sender had several other legit numbers copied on the text

I got something similar, except it was about a job. I didn't respond. I'm sure it's spam.

If I text the wrong number and they tell me so, why would I bother them again with yet another text to let them know?
ETA: it's likely spam. I was just pointing out that not answering you back isn't weird.

The freaky thing was they knew my name, and they all had numbers from GA where I live yet texting my cell which is still a BR area code

And now they have confirmed your email address. Good job sending them an email back.

Can you not read? It was a TEXT
The fact that they also stated ppl were copied on this "email" which was also a text was also strange

Not sure if it's ever happened before in human history but is it possible someone dialed the wrong number?

Sounds like someone will be wearing your skin soon.

They accidentally sent an email to your cell number instead of your email inbox.

Go ahead and put lube on your a-hole. The black gangs from Ghana are in your neighborhood.

Had similar about a month ago. Text read, "Hey (my name). Have you been to Florida lately?"
I responded after googling and told them I wasn't falling for your scam. They responded "What about for an old girlfriend?"
I didn't even bother after that,
