[QUOTE=WhereDreamsGo;5669278]Sometimes these are legit. Most likely it's a scammer. At least once I do know of a LEO agency doing that after getting the numbers off an arrested provider's phone. I kind of suspect if it were cops they'd at least be sly enough to get a number in your same area code, or even spoof the number of the arrested provider. With a different area code, I'm thinking most likely some kind of scammer. They harvest numbers off of responses to the many bogus Listcrawler ads and then try getting in contact later, in my experience.[/QUOTE]I've been getting similar messages on my KIK App lately, literally within the last 3 or 4 weeks. However, it's been quite easy to ignore them because they have never been someone I've chatted with prior. But it's kind of thought provoke when you mention the possibility of LEO using harvested numbers in that way though. Scary actually! You can never be too careful.
