For the record, I’m a man whose name is not Annie and I don’t even like yoga.

    My guess is that your number is either, by random chance, or means of some kind of app or something, being used as a fake number for girls to use to get rid of obnoxious guys at bars, or something similar.

    Oooorrrr its a kind of pig butchering scam thing, where somehow your number got flagged as some kind of potential mark, so a whole bunch of random numbers are either bots or people following a script just throwing out random bullshit to see if you ever bite.

      Its a phishing scam. If you respond “sorry who is this” and they have their in. 1 out of 1000 will fall for it. But they run a lot of numbers at once. The ones that do get suckered can lose a lot of money.
