This turned out ok, but this kind of text looks a lot like the "pig butchering scam" that's getting coverage recently

Pig-Butchering starts with a seemingly innocent text message, and once the scammers catch a victim, they convince them to start investing in crypto. They have the victim set up an account on a fake crypto exchange, and over the course of months, they steal more and more of the victim's money.

You can't even trust random strangers texting the wrong number anymore
