Last week I got a text that had a lot of my information on it that said I had been texting there escorts to much. And then a phone call. I never returned or answered either. Anyone else ever had this happen??

That is a common scam that has been going on for years. First I've heard of it in Spokane though.

For peace of mind, this is one more reason to always use a burner phone.

If you used a legit phone number tied to yourself they can get all of that information online for a few bucks.

Fucking drug addict loser. Nothing came if it. It'll only get worse with AI. We're all. So. Fucked.

When this happened a few years ago to me my reactions and replies were:

1. A photo of an AR-15 and the words "you'd better come ready for a fight!

2. A few choice comments about the circumstances of their birth.

They responded with some bigger threats. So I just laughed and told them to come on over. But make sure they had their affairs in order when they did.

What they did not know was that I was on a burner phone and I gave a fake address. According to Google Maps that address was in the middle of nowhere out by Ephrata.

Never heard a damned thing after that.
