It seems like the caller, likely a family member or someone pretending to be one, is attempting to exploit the recipient’s trust. The message suggests that their phone has been water damaged and requests that the recipient text a new number. This is a common scam tactic used to gain access to personal information or to set up further fraudulent activities. If you receive such a call, it’s crucial to verify the identity of the caller through a known, trusted contact method. Never provide personal information or engage with the new number until you’re absolutely certain it’s legitimate. Stay vigilant and double-check with family members or friends directly.
